Organize under the Sink

I was in search of "something" under the sink today, but of course, there was no way I was going to find it in this chaos.  So instead, I decided that this needed some improvement - Pronto!


Here is the before. Woah!

First, I removed everything and cleaned the bottom of the cabinet.
Then I cut some white contact paper and laid that on the bottom.
Then I separated the items that could be moved to nicer looking glass jars and those that I wanted to leave in the original container.
I found a white basket, that was not being used and put that in the middle.  Then I add the "original" items to the basket.  These were things that were almost empty or that I had no need to change the bottle like the Dr. Bonner's Soap, etc.  Next, with all the glass jars filled up, I just needed some pretty labels to distinguish this from that.  I already had some white contact paper, so I used THESE.  If you don't like those, you can find more HERE.  Then I took another pic and voila!  It was super easy and took only about 30 minutes and yes, you can do this too...


Here is the AFTER, Wow!

Now what was it I was looking for anyway?




VEGAN Easter Eggs




So how do VEGANS do Easter?   More specific Easter eggs?  Last year, we went in search of a new method to get those little goodies ready for Mr. E. Bunny.  We decided plastic eggs were the way to go.  But how to dye plastic???  Why Dye?  Who says you MUST dye your eggs?  We were use to the messy dye process from years ago, which I hated.  I just new something was going to get dyed that was not supposed to be.  
Since my little artists have a ton of paints and such, they wanted to use puff paints to color the eggs.  Which we did in 2012, but they ended up needing a few days to dry.  (My kiddos really piled on the paint.) This year, I wanted something that was a bit easier on the Easter Bunny to hide, without fear of the paint sliding onto the area of such hiding.
So they used their ceramic paints.  
They turned out spectacular!  Super easy and quick!  Dried in no time (good thing since we colored them on the day before Easter)!  And looked awesome...don't you think?
