I've got an organizing tip for you today and a giveaway, so make sure you go all the way to the bottom to throw your name into the hat...or is it a purse?
I can't believe I'm about to show you the inside of my closet...it could get ugly, girls.
This is what my purses look like on most days. No organization. They just end up on the floor of my closet. If it's a good day, they'll be piled on a shelf. I decided it was time for a better system.
That's where these come in. A shower curtain tension rod and some s-hook. Drill a bunch of holes in the tension rod and put an s-hook in each hole. Make sure you're using s-hooks that are at least 1.5".
Then wedge the tension rod somewhere in your closet. My rod wasn't quite long enough so I used a small stool to make up the difference.
Voila! I'm finally organized! Now I've got room for MORE PURSES!
Did you hear that I had another fabulous giveaway as a part of Moms Unite! Today our giveaway is being sponsered by Kim at A Touch of Stardust.
Kim designs and makes the most adorable purses and totes.
Love me a little toile! Her bags are fun and funky and she uses beautiful fabrics from designers like Amy Butler.
And could this birdie bag be any cuter! I really want one of these.
So what's the giveaway? The winner will get to choose any of the pleated bags in her shop!
Now you know the drill right? Go check out Kim shop, A Touch of Stardust. Then come back here and leave me a comment telling me which of her bags you just can't live without.
And then get yourself over to the The Nester's place because she has an awesome giveaway going on too.
My winner will be announced on Thursday when we start our next giveaway brought to you by:
Check it out!

Also, I really like your purse hanging idea. I use hat hooks in my closet, but your idea saves space and I think I'm going to be doing a little closet makeover in the next day or two!
The sparrows pleated purse. That one is my fave....and when I win, I'll go and buy the cosmetic bag to match. yay!!!
Okay, seriously so hard to choose! I love them ALL! But, since I have to narrow it down to just one, I think I like the orange floral bag.

Chocolate and Lime. Oooh so pretty.
I just lost my breath a little bit, when I saw the sock monkey rag tote/diaper bag. I would DIE if I won and could have that!

Wow! Well, lets see...I love the toile purse but I see that someone already snatched it up. I also love the Morning Glory and the Chocolate & Lime. They are sooooo adorable. Some of her totes would also make great "smaller" diaper bags. You know...for the quick...in and out jobs ;)
She is being added to my favorite list!
Oh, I forgot to tell you I want the first bag. Then brown and blue. If I win I PROMISE I will share with twin.....really I will :o)

I love your purse storage idea. As for the purse I love...I must have the Chocolate and Lime!
Ooooooh! I've admired these purses before - I love them!! I think my fave is actually the birdie bag you posted. I'm a sucker for brown and orange and add a bird and I'm sold.
I'm quite certain I cannot live without the Mocha Pleated Bag. But they are all so gorgeous!
Ohhh, I can't decide. It's either the Katie Jump Rope or the Passion Vine. Hmmmm... Well, if I win one, I'll buy the other one. :)
The bird one is my favorite. I wear those colors all fall and winter. That is the blessing and curse of being a redhead.
Okay, I have GOT to have the "Ivory Wood Fern XL Diaper Bag/Weekend Bag ---- shoulder bag with seven pockets".
Why? Why must I have this bag?
Because baby #4 is due next week and baby #3 will be 15 months next week (on the same day, actually), and I've GOT to find something useful for both that isn't so big it add another 10 lbs to my back.
Plllleeeeaaassseee pick me!!!!
