Motivation is a Treasure

This week, I am motivated to organize my storage closet.Michael and I live in a cute two bedroom apartment, we love it! But there isn't a lot of storage space. 
We have this little area outside, and it has become crowded with my art supplies (I don't have the space for them in our apartment) Christmas and other holiday decorations, and some toys that I kept in very good condition in the hope of one day giving them to my children. 
So... the plan is to go through it all over the weekend, get rid of some stuff, and organize the rest.I've been doing some price comparisons via the interweb and it appears that Kmart has some nice big storage shelves for $15 -even though I'm not a fan of the store, I'm a fan of the price. :-)  I'm also motivated to organize the area by our bookshelves, it always seems to accumulate clutter.  I'll let you know how it all goes.  What are you motivated to do this week?

Small Treasure Tuesdays

I am so late in doing this guys!I apologize. But better late than never, right?
Welcome to Small Treasure Tuesdays on Thursday :-P
Remember, your post doesn't have to be long, it can be as simple as linking up a picture or a quote. I don't want anyone feeling overwhelmed by this :-)
So this week my treasure is waking up early, getting stuff done around the house and being able to spend quality time with Michael.
Since we both work full-time, and are each taking a class, when we get home I don't have the motivation to clean or cook or do any of the things that I want to do around the house.
But I've been waking up earlier (not as early as Nain, as you can see in her post below) but early enough to have more energy, and get stuff done before I go to work. 
I feel much happier and accomplished, even if I only have time for a load of laundry and dishes, it's still something and it makes me happy :-)
AND I've had some extra time to spend with my special someone in the evenings too, which I treasure immensely. 
What's your treasure this week?I'd love to hear about it, just leave the link in a comment and I'll add it to this post :-)

New Jewelry Designs are a Treasure

I haven't been able to capture good light with my jewelry so these pictures aren't very good.

My father paid me to make this set of earrings, bracelet and necklace for my step-mother on Valentines Day. I'll be making a similar set to sell on my etsy shop, so I thought I'd show you guys.

I'm very proud of it :-)What do you think?

Motivation is a Treasure

I know it isn't Monday, but I still wanted to participate in Nain's Motivation Monday
And this week I'm motivated to update my etsy shop (finally, right?), organize and de-clutter some areas of my apartment and hopefully get an A on my paper :-D
Though I won't find out about the paper til Monday... It might be a long weekend, I need to keep my mind off of it ;-) so I'm also motivated to keep myself busy and now worry about my paper!
What's motivating you this week?
Stop by Nain's blog and let us all know :-)

3) Visit as many people as you want/can. All I ask is that you please visit the person above you in the list, and leave a comment. Everyone loves to know what you think of their treasures! Sorry I got this up so late today, I have a big paper due in my writing class tomorrow, and so I didn't have time to write it ahead of time :-) 
My treasure is that my paper is pretty much finished (I just have a few little things to fix)I'm majoring in creative writing, and the class I'm in now is an academic writing class focusing on analysis and research writing. It's fun! it's just different than what I'm used to. So even though this paper is only 6 pages long, it took me quite a while to write it.
I'm having fun though! I took a few years off of school, and it's kind of nice to be back. Even though it's just the one class this semester. I gotta ease my way back into it right? :-)
What's your treasure? I'd love to read about it.Just leave the link in a comment and I'll add it to the end of this post!

Today my treasure is this thing

My inversion table :-)

I seriously love it.

I have a slight case of scoliosis, and as a result I get back pain and a lot of shoulder tension. My chiropractor recommended getting an inversion table and it has really helped. I don't feel as much pain and I can go longer in between visits to the chiropractor.
I would highly recommend it to everyone, it has so many benefits!Gravity can really wear on you, and hanging upside down can help relax the body and correct any misalignments.

The ideal amount of time to hang upside down is 15 minutes!You definitely have to work up to that. 
Michael and I started out at ten seconds and added a few more seconds each day. We're up to around 3 minutes now! And we've gotten to the point where it doesn't hurt our heads anymore just our ankles.
I've noticed such a difference. Saving money on chiropractor visits and experiencing less back pain is definitely a treasure

I've really enjoyed doing Small Treasure Tuesdays!It's been such an uplifting part of my week. 
Due to linkytools no longer being a free service (which I totally understand!) I'm not sure if I'll be able to budget that in right now. So, starting next Tuesday you can add the link to your post in a comment and I'll add it to the end of each Small Treasure Tuesday post. At least until I can budget it :-)
How does that sound to you guys?
My treasure today is my husbands patience, constant support and encouragement.
Also, this song

What's your treasure?Have a good week everyone!
