DIY Jewelry Organizer

My jewelry was in serious need of organization. I added "jewelry organizer" to Ryan's to-do list, but being 11 days from my due date, there are so many other important things he's taking care of, that I decided to tackle this one by myself. We had leftover mesh from our hamper project. I wanted to use that so that the two pieces would match, plus it would be free :) It ended up not working, so I basically found the same exact thing at Hobby Lobby. 
I found everything I needed all in the same aisle at Hobby Lobby. 
For this project, I bought:
1 foam board ($7.50)
1 12x24 aluminum sheet ($7.50 after coupon)
1 pack of S hooks ($2.99)

Ryan wasn't home when I made this, so I just used whatever screws he had that seemed appropriate, one in each corner. I pushed them in just far enough so that they didn't pop out the other side of the foam. Then I cut off the excess foam.
It was done in a matter of minutes! Then I just played around with the positioning of the S hooks to work with my jewelry.
When Vivian saw it, she said "Wow, Mommy!" and Ryan thought I had bought it. :)

Good ((Food)) News!

We got the BEST news ever this week- Viv is no longer allergic to tree nuts and may not be to peanuts either (we have a follow-up test in September to get more results)! We are overwhelmed with this blessing and thank God for healing her! I made our favorite almond meal cookies to celebrate! It was so nice not having to worry about what my hands touched in the kitchen while making them. What a relief! 
It's also u-pick fruit season! Our favorite. So far we've gotten strawberries, cherries and raspberries. 
We also have backyard fruit this year, grapes and raspberries for the first time!
