For years I had rolled my eyes when I heard people blogged, especially at a young age. I always thought of bloggers to be soccer moms or missionaries or over-opinionated people. Although, a few weeks ago it dawned on me. Through Hilary Duff’s famous words, “why not take a crazy chance?” here I am, Word Press. I am done being controlled by twitter and their 140 characters, oh please. I’ll show you 140 characters. Anyways here I have listed out reasons I have continually tried to tell myself as to why I should start a blog:

1. THE Jillian Mercer after initially laughing at the idea thought I was cool enough to make one. Yes, you heard me. Also, I promised her a shout out for the name “MarieachieBand.”

Bathroom organization

Here are three steps to make your bathroom less cluttered!

Use a towel rack to hold headbands.

I put my towel on another rack, and I used this one to store my headbands.

Use a shoe hanger behind your drawers.

Velcro shoe storage containers on the back of a door for easy access.

Homemade necklace clips.

Glue down clothespins to a piece of wood.

Spray paint it and hang it to your wall. Now your necklaces aren’t tangled up, but are neatly displayed!

I hope this declutters your bathroom!
Sorry for the long wait between posts, we had some issues.

Tissue Paper Flowers

How to make centerpiece flowers! Great for any party!
You will need
•Different Color Tissue Paper
•Tape
•Scissors

Fan the tissue paper out like am accordion and tape in the middle

Cut the edges so they are either rounded or pointed. I chose pointed

Fan it out one layer at a time

I’m using these for a centerpiece because they aren’t full enough to hang. More tissue paper makes it fuller so you can hang these from the ceiling. Hope this is helpful!

New Year, New Organization

Want to make this year more organized? Here are 5 ways to organize your events, plans, and notes all DIY. These are ways to use dry erase boards, magnets and every day objects into organization ways.
Use a frame with decorative paper to make a dry erase board. This is similar to the DIY Christmas Countdown post. This is just a start. You can make a whole organization board with this dry erase frame. Attach magnets to containers to hold dry erase markers or note papers. Magnet up notes and frames to keep it personalized. <a href="http:/
This one is a magnet board covered in fabric. I attached magnets to a notepad to keep notes such as grocery lists or reminders. Put a bow on a magnet to decorate it and spice it up.
Make a calendar with paint swatches glued inside a room to go with any room colors. This is also a great gift.

This one was more complicated, but is really fun to make. Get a cookie sheet and paint it. You can put decorative paper on the inside if you would like. Tie a ribbon on the top to hang it. Put fun magnets to hold up papers you need.
I hope these magnetic tips help you keep your life nice and neat!
Have a great 2014
