I ADORE Tiffany. Maybe a bit too much. In fact, if you knew who Tiffany was, you’d like her too. Lately, I’ve been on a spring cleaning rampage and Tiffany did me GOOD! She helped me get totally organized. But that’s not all, she got things organized and made them pretty. For me, that’s a very important combination.
So let me reveal who Tiffany is (you may already know her, she’s actually VERY famous). Actually Tiffany(s) are my shopping bags that I tend to hoard. I’m not the only one guilty of this addictive habit, I’m sure. My husband gives me grief about saving EVERY shopping bag I bring home. I’m the type of person who likes to keep things for the sake of keeping (AKA hoarder). I mean, I even have stacks of discounted X-Mas cards when I don’t even send them out! Well, I’m working on that…
My DIY vision board has been in a state of craziness. It started off nice, simple, clean, and very inspiring. Then it slowly became a storage space for everything from invites, pictures, cards, to receipts. It was kinda driving me insane and completely not eye-pleasing. So I did something that my husband would’ve been proud- made use of my shopping bags! (See hunnie, I told you they were going to be useful… someday!)
Now that my board has come to life again, I feel like I can breathe better!
Each bag serves as an organizational drawer or compartment.
This one stores my tiny journals and random pens.
Remember the gift tag cookies that I made for the holidays? Well, I kept it as a memorabilia. Anyhow, this shopping bag serves as a basket for silk peonies.
This one is used for my Curly Girl Design notepad, polka dot pencils, and a pair of scissors. Btw, CGD giveaway is going on now! Don’t forget to enter. It ends midnight tomorrow…
There’s even space for sunnies!
Bags were easily hung up with multiple push pins.
Who says being organized can’t be fashionable, fun, and clever?
PS. This should NOT be a reason to go shopping!

I knew all of my nice bags would come in handy some day. That day is today! I love this idea. I worked at a place that never used the Tiffany bags that came with the engraved business gifts they ordered at Christmas time. My boss knew I loved to make and collect bags so she gave them to me. I have several sizes and love to use them for packing gifts. I also altered one a bit to use as a garbage can when I scrapbook. Just dry paper pieces go in it. Nothing yucky. Your idea is brilliant and so very pretty!

LOVE that idea! I am a collector of the Godiva bags myself.
Here’s an idea for your Christmas cards….besides mailing them out.
Go to your local liquor store and ask for an empty box with dividers.
Cut the front of the Christmas cards off and decoupage the cards onto the empty liquor box and you have a beautifully decorated ornament box.

this is a great idea! I dont have many shopping bags but I am sure that some of the ones that I do come across would work perfectly! My only question is how did you get them to hold the weight of some of the things that you put in there? My one thought was maybe a small piece of cardboard on the bottom might help with sturdiness. either way it is a fantastic idea!

Hi, I used push pins on the inside of the bags to hang them onto the bulletin board. Good luck and enjoy! Kellie
