Sometimes I can be so freakishly organized, I even scare myself. The day we moved in our house, the very first thing I organized was the junk drawer in our kitchen. I didn’t care if we slept on doormats or used paper towels to dry off after our showers or ate off cookie sheets with screwdrivers for a week but no way was I going to fish around a drawer for a pen and get stabbed under my nail with a pushpin and get tetanus and rabies and sepsis simultaneously and have to be driven to emergency and have my ass hang out of a paper dress and fight with an orderly for some jello and miss my first night in our house.
Over the years, I have tackled one organizational disaster after another in our house and each time I successfully addressed one, there would be two more hiding in the wings, just waiting to be accidentally discovered with a resounding OH SHIT. It didn’t matter how many times I barricaded those damn wings, disasters always managed to find a way in. Who knew disasters could be so intrepid?
My jewelry box was one such disaster and sat at #29 on my list entitled Things To Fix After I Fix Everything Else. It patiently sat there as I’d fling my bling into it willy nilly, never once complaining about my utter lack of attention or the inch of dust resting upon its lid.
One day, we got an invitation to a wedding to which I immediately responded and jotted down on our calendar and then promptly forgot about until the day of, because my organization skills took an unauthorized hiatus during June.
On the day of the wedding, I turned into a chicken and immediately severed my head and ran all about my bedroom, complaining that I had absolutely nothing to wear, which came out sounding like “Cluck Cluck Cluckity Cluckity Cluck. CLUCK!” Turns out, I did have a nifty little black outfit that still fit, provided I suck in my breath and not exhale for approximately seven hours. But I needed earrings to distract people from my eyes bulging out of my head, and a necklace to divert their attention from my blue face so I once again opened my jewelry box.
It was then that I discovered that at some point since my last visit, my complacent, benign jewelry box underwent an identity crisis and had morphed into a full-blown, bawdy bling bordello and can I just say, that is an excellent example of alliteration, if I do say so myself.
Which I just did.
Anyway, it had turned into a full-blown, bawdy bling bordello and I stared in utter shock at the huge, mangled, intertwined orgy of gold and silver necklaces writhing inside of it.
As I desperately tried to extricate one necklace and a pair of earrings from the multitudes of ménage à trois before me, #29 Organize Jewelry skyrocketed to the top of my fix-it list, demoting Organize Nate’s Meds So That He Doesn’t Accidentally Kill Himself to #2. Maybe Nate will think twice before yelling C’MON, WHO CARES, LET’S GO ALREADY fifty-two times and thereby avoid an accidental dose of an estrogen supplement.
Just sayin’.
I managed to untangle what I needed and we made it to the church on time and as I sat there in my pew, listening to the couple exchange their vows, a light bulb appeared above my head and I turned it on and lo and behold, came up with a solution.
And I was so happy that I stood up and shouted HALLELUJAH and the Heavens opened up and angels flew all around the altar and I was bathed in a beautiful warm light and God bellowed YOU’RE WELCOME and the congregation shouted a collective AMEN and I sat back down and the wedding continued without further interruption.
That might have been in my own head. I’m not sure.
The day after the wedding, I ran out to several different stores to get my supplies and then I ran home and put on some music and ate an entire Tony’s pizza and washed my hands and made this:
I call it a Bling Board. Because basically, I couldn’t think of a better name and besides, it’s bitchin’ alliteration.
Say Bling Board ten times fast.
It’s basically an artist’s canvas that I altered with paper and lots of embellies. It’s got a bunch of hooks on the bottom of it for necklaces and bracelets and, on those occasions when your youngest daughter channels a slug and refuses to walk to the laundry room, a sock or two.
It’s got a chain to hold earrings and, on those occasions when your youngest daughter channels a slug and refuses to walk to the kitchen, a lollipop stick.
I meant to take a picture of the chain but I was distracted by the color of the ribbon. I love this ribbon. If I could, I’d type this while wearing nothing but that ribbon but then I might scare the bejesus out of someone and I don’t want the responsibility of someone’s bejesus going AWOL.
Keep track of your bejesus. You can’t just run out and buy replacement bejesus at Target, you know.
Can you?
Who’s got a Sunday flier?
There’s also a lot of pretty going on.
It’s all about the pretty.
Well, it’s all about the function, too.
The pretty function.
The functional pretty.
Whatever.
You know what I mean.
Here it is in action. And of course, it’s in action in Zoe’s room because nothing is sacred in my house and I can call nothing my own anymore. Who cares that my jewelry box is riddled with sexual shenanigans the likes of which I’ve never seen before?
Nobody apparently.
But to be honest, it does look better in Zoe’s room than our room. Probably because she has plants in her room – you can just barely see the tip of one in this photo.
I don’t have plants in our room or the rest of the house. This is because I no longer have thumbs. They were so black, they rotted off.
The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that this bling board wouldn’t have meshed with our distinctive bedroom color scheme.
Then again, nothing meshes with Seasick Cookie Monster.
The next bling board I make, I’ll make sure it coordinates with Seasick Cookie Monster or my name isn’t Gert.
My name isn’t Gert.
Remind me to ask Nate to paint our bedroom.
Here’s a closer view.
And another closer view. See how well it goes with her walls?
I love her walls. They remind me of melted chocolate.
I’d lick them if I didn’t think someone would arrest me. Or look at me funny.
People look at me funny as a matter of instinct. I rather not give them an actual reason.
Now I must review my list and refresh my memory as to what needs to be organized next.
I’m thinking that as soon as Seasick Cookie Monster bites the dust, there will be no more fears of accidental female hormone ingestion by those family members sporting a y chromosome.

ROTFLMBO!!! Utterly hilarious. Your bling board is gorgeous and now I’m dying to see what color Seasick Cookie Monster is.
And I fall over giggling once again. And wow, I might even wear jewelry if I had a bawdy bling board (hmm, did you notice that “board” is “broad” spelled sideways? No wonder bordellos are blowzing through your bling!).
I have never thought of my neck chains as having an orgy or ménage à trois, but that describes it SO perfectly!! 🙂
Love your bling board. My system is no-where near as decorative – but at least it remains in my room!!
Well that is truly inspired. I love it and now I’m going to make one the same and I don’t care if I’m a copy-cat. My brain is going 100 k’s and hour. Now to work out what colour will go with the double bed sheets masquerading as curtains for the last 10 years.
ROTFLMAO! TOO FUNNY! I will definitely never look at my jewelry the same again. I will always be wondering, what they are up to.
Cute board, another thing you should think about selling. You have a lot of great ideas Andrea, that are perfect for an online website! Hint, hint!
This is the funniest crafting post I have ever read! Kudos to you. By the way, do they still sell Kudos?
Visiting from SITS.
As always, you are flipping BRILLIANT!
I love that. I’m much more boring, I hang my bling in the closet on tie/belt holders.
I love that jewelry holder! Ah yes, I can relate to the constant messes all around me.
I don’t think I ever laughed so hard at someones blog! You are too funny and a very creative writer, not to mention a creative person, love that bling board!
Ok, when you make yourself your next bling board. Make two. Then have a give away. And give it to me. Because I want one. And I need one.
I never wear jewelery because I refuse to open the drawer that contains them. I’m afraid. If I open, they may come out. And strangle me in pretty sparkly ways because I’ve ignored them for so long.
So, get busy. Make two. Have a give away. But don’t tell anyone else except me. Then random.org will pick me.
Got it??
LMAO!!! you are to funny! Love the bling board and I am so going to make mytself one! fabby inspiration!
I love the bling board! The ribbons and the flowers are so pretty! And the color of her walls is delicious!
I love the bling board. I need to make one of those too though most of the jewelry I have I can wear at one time. Love the wall color too- I wish I was as daring to go dark with my walls!
LMFAO! I love your bling board and dare I reveal my little secret, you! I love reading your blog and your hilariousness keeps me going. Thanks so much for sharing your humor with us.
Cute board, another thing you should think about selling. You have a lot of great ideas Andrea, that are perfect for an online website! Hint, hint!
LOVE it!! and see?? You SHOULD open shop!
You’re hilarious! Stopping in from SITS!
ooooh this is so fun and gorgeous you did such a wonderful job 🙂 great idea!
ROFL, you are too funny! Have you ever thought of publishing a book or having a column in a magazine? I’d buy it, even if they had to ship my monthly issues overseas each month! I love the blig noard, what a fantastic idea! My jewelry is at contant war too, this might be a lifesaver for them if I ever find time to make one of these! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it!
LMAO you are too funny. Love the board to hand the jewelry. I may have to try this myself. Thanks for my first laugh of the day.
I have finally figured out my problem. I am missing my bejesus!!! It must have been scared out of me at some point and its absence is the answer to every problem I have had since. As to your bling board, I love it. I, too, have a bling board. Well, it is really a bling board attached to a bling door but that is a post for my blog (hmmm…idea there) Now I know what to blog about today. Come on over and check it out in about 10 hours, okay?
olwyn
Fab idea.
You’ve probably told me before, but I was trying to remember what number on your list the “Get Octamom’s junk drawer, laundry room, garage and master closet organized” is. I was hoping to get it on the calendar.
I’ve found your long-lost humor twin around the corner from me–I’m sending her over to your blog so that the two of you can make magic snarky together–look for a user name of skiertx or something like that–I’m pretty sure y’all are long lost relatives….
Blessings@
I LOVE your creation! Jewerly boxes don’t really cut it! I gave you some link love! Thanks for sharing!
That is awesome. Make some and sell them on Etsy, will you? Because if I try to make one, it’s going to look like anything but a bling board.
You should make a couple dozen of these and sell them on Ebay! I am not kidding.
I love it! Is there no end to your talents? Very funny.
I too just hate it to death when necklaces get tangled. I think I spent half my childhood untangling gold chains & ripping then in half out of frustration.
Wow! That is soo cool-I love the Bling Board!! Are you taking orders? I want one!
I love it – it’s just gorgeous!
Oh hell. I don’t need another project to do, but I MUST make myself a Bling Board. I have a small bling bordello resting on my bathroom counter, and I have wondered for years what a good solution would be. This is the obvious choice. Of course, I will have to Mod Podge and polyurethane the heck out of mine because it must be stationed in our steamy bathroom, but other than that, I would make no changes to your brilliant bling board bordello buster.
LOL…you are too much, girl! I do love that bling board, though. That is one awesome idea and one that I must lift one day as my jewelry is in a similar predicament! I guess I’ll put that on my list…LOL!
That is soooo cute. I may have to make some of these as christmas gifts next year!! And I will have to see if My hubby can locate my Bejeezus! I really think that is what my problem is!!
I love it. I’m going to make one too. Thanks for sharing and for posting the great images too.
I love that your jewelry had an orgy! The project is too spanky, well, if you’re into that sorta thing. And some of these ladies apparently are not bc they are visiting from SITS and that sounds like a rescue group or something. 😉
In fact, I’d like to be clued in, cause I hate walking around clueless with grey hair that people just think I’m now a blonde instead of a redhead! Which I once was I tell you! Thanks for the laughs! I NEEDED them muchly today.
And you have the gall to say you’re not a crafty person??!! That is such a clever concept and it’s beautiful too!!!!
Good God, I love your blog!!! I always get a huge laugh every time I read it!!!
That is a great idea. Pretty and functional.
Pure genius! It’s pretty and functional and I’ll bet you wear your jewelry a lot more now that you can actually see it.
I collect ‘Old Lady Bling’ meaning vintage rhinestone pieces. I want to make a shadow box to display them in. I’d love to do something similar to what you’ve done but I think I’m supposed to protect the stones from UV light.
In any case, I love the idea of displaying jewelry out in the open.
Bada boom bada bling?
Of course, that has to be sung soprano.
Can you come to my house and organize please?!
You are so crafty and creative it’s nauseating.
Wow! And I thought I ran a G rated house, or at best PG on some days, or X when the kid is spending the night at a friends house…never mind. Not going there. Anyway, now I see that there are all kinds of shenanigans going on in my jewelry box that need to be stopped! No hanky-panky going on in this house unless…again, never mind.
What a great organizing idea. Must make one. Immediately.
I just ruined a really dramatic moment in our current Netflix rental because I was laughing like a dork.
This is great. Crafty and organizational. LOVE IT!
(And I’ll be sure to stock up on back-up bejesus, as I will be returning to your blog very soon!)
That’s a beautiful board and a funny story. I was right there with you every step of the way. Except I have about one creative bone in my body and it agrees to let me use it about once a year. Good for you for finding such a great answer to the bordello prob!
And thanks for sharing on BPOTW!
What a great idea! I need one! Stopping by from SITS!
Wow, love the bitchin’ bling board! (And all the alliteration) It’s beautiful – and so creative!
Happy SITS Day!
Wow, that is just gorgeous!!
OMG laughing my ass off and running out to buy the makings too! I might put velvet or something for pins and brooches to pin into. Seems I have a lot of them and not much else. Hmmmm must rectify. Hiya from a sits girl! Laura
Hilarious! And I love that bling board. Have to make one. Problem is The Little Miss will want every item on it if it is on display like this..Maybe inside the cupboard?
Wonderful job on your bling board!
Hugs and Mocha,
Stesha
Oh that bling board is fan, freaking tastic!
Great job!
Ha! What a great story. I’ve been in the position of untangling earrings, necklaces, etc in the heat of the moment. I just might attempt to make my own. Also, I love how in the end you didn’t even get to enjoy it. Too funny.
Stopping by from SITS! Wow, I love your Bling board! Very creative and it looks great hanging up on the wall!
What a clever and very funny blogger you are. Congratulations on you SITS day. I’m so glad they featured you!
I.LOVE.THAT. What an ingenious idea!!!
Genius!! Must do this!! Jewelry can look pretty when organized well, and I think you just made the whole idea the absolute prettiest.
LOL..you have a fantastic way of writing.
Made me smile this morning!
This is adorable! Hope you have a great SITS day.
I giggled all the way through this post. I sooooo need to make one of these boards for all my bling. I’ve got entirely way to much bling and there is a lot of shinanigan’s going on in my jewlery box right now.
Not only was that hilarious, it was a fabulous idea!
Love the board, and you style of writing is pretty cool too!
Loved it. Loved it. Loved it!!! I want a bling board. I don’t exactly know what color seasick cookie monster is, but I need one that goes with Seasick SpongeBob.
That is brilliant! (the blog and the board!)
I love the idea.
My jewelry is also up to some naughty behavior and could use a little straighten up.
I love it!
I’m not crafty, but that is awesome! And very funny, too!
LOL! Congrats on your SITS day!! 🙂
LOL!!!!
It’s awesome! LOVED reading your post! Thanks for the laugh on a dull Wednesday morning! 🙂
Happy SITS day!
HILARITY! Okay your blng board rocks! You probably have more talent (and humour) in your pinkie toe than I have in my whole body. Happy SITS day!
Happy Wednesday from SITS!!!
Funny! That is a gorgeous solution, great idea!
Geez! What kind of whore house are you running over there?!?! You are my kind of funny!
That board is fantastic! Great job!
*FWIW, I’d lick the walls, too. But then again, I believe I ate paint chips when I was a child.
🙂
Stopping by from SITS!
What a great idea!
Go ahead…lick away…no one will judge you.
Cute bling board.
Congrats from sits!
A blog that makes me laugh and gives me useful craft ideas? Fabulous. So happy to find you.
How fun! Will you come over and organize my house?
I love the bling board! I even managed to say it 10 times fast successfully. I always have appreciated good alliteration.
Great post!
I love it! I may just have to steal that idea, if I can manage to actually MAKE something…
OMG, you are freakin hilarious! And I totally stealing your idea, too! I think I have a canvas at home…thanks for the idea! I’ll be sure to send others your way!
How cute…I want one!
Gorgeous bling board! I’m totally stealing this idea! What about a place to put rings though? Maybe some cones at the top? I think that might take away from the gorgeous board. Ah, I’ll think of something!
Happy SITS day!
That is really neat. I think that would look great in any room and keep everything all together.
I love this idea and will have to steal it!!!
Absolutely amazing! But where’s the tutorial?? Because I HAVE to make one now…but I want to make sure I’m doing it right!
Wonderful blog…love your creativity and spunk!
Happy SITS day =)
Great solution!
I was just wondering what to do with our “spare” bedroom – calling it a “Seasick Cookie Monster” theme is so much quicker and easier than actually cleaning it.
This post cracks me up – and I’m not crafty in the least.
I love it! Pretty sure I’ll be making one soon!
Happy SITS Day! You are so creative! You should sell these babies!
Funny! Thanks for sharing. Happy SITS day!
The bling board is awesome!
OMG, I need to start reading your blog on a regular basis! hehe. You are hilarious, and maybe some of your craftiness will rub off on me. 🙂
that is one nifty board! now if i only had some jewelry.
I’m stopping by from SITS!
You are so hilarious. I love the bling board but even more so, I love your humor.
I love this!! I may need one!
That is such an awesome idea for a jewelry holder! Very creative!
Love that Bling board, very creative! And yes, I’d like that chocolate room too, hehe. Congrats on your SITS day girl! Off to snoop through some other posts.
Jamie 🙂
I don’t really know what to say….but you are an amazing writer and very witty.
OH yea, that post was about the board. Very nice! You totally got so off topic that I forgot…but in a good way.
Hey from SITS, this is awesome! (both the wit and the bling board)
So funny! And a project to boot! Very cute project and loved reading this! Made me laugh out loud (in my office, no less), which will get me in trouble probably, Thanks for nothing! lol!
Happy SITs Day! You are all over the blogging world. It’s no wonder with all your hilariosity (new word). I hope things have cooled off in your jewelry drawer.
I’m in awe! That is gorgeous!!! I love love love it! 🙂
You:
– Slay me
– Impress me
– Make me sickly envious
– Inspire me to try what you did
– Have me in your writing grips. I will be back.
Joy, who is done sucking up now
{p.s. Congrats on your SITS feature!}
so funny. Happy SITS day!
You are an alliteration goddess. Coming from a former lit teacher, high praise, indeed!
Congrats on being today’s featured blogger!
LOVE, love the board. Love your post even more. You’re too funny! Found you through SITS!
That was hillarious! Thanks for the laugh. I love the bling board, you should post “how to” instructions once your list of things to fix gets a little shorter. Definitely not before you organize the meds though!
For the record, I’m a big fan of alliteration. You had me at bawdy bling bordello. I love your solution, it’s inspired. Unfortunately my crappy jewelry is not fit to see the light of day, but the bling board would make a sweet gift for someone else.
I want one!
“Bling board, bling board, bling board,….”
It’s hard to type 10 times fast too!
Very Cool bling organizer. Such talent and such a sense of humor! Love it.
I love the board! That’s really cool & pretty & functional. Happy SITS day! =)
GREAT idea! Congrats on your SITS day! 🙂
So hilarious!
I want one of those!
I officially heart you in your face, especially for the paragraphs where you turned into a chicken and the heavens opened and God said “You’re welcome!” I can’t remember when I’ve read a funnier post, or seen such a bitchin’ craft. I have to buy more earrings to do the one I’ma gonna make justice! I’d blather stalker-speak at you awhile longer, but I hav’ta go follow you now and then read your other posts! You rock! 🙂
wow! I love that. i have been needing something like that. great idea. You are so creative!
Cute story! Love the board too….i think you’ve inspired me with a new idea.
Happy SITS day!
What a super idea! Beats all the random boxes I have in my dresser drawer.
Happy SITS day!
Very cute. I had something similar when I was a kid – but it was more like just a board with hooks on the front … nothing as spectacular as what you made here. They work nicely though so way to get this issue off your to-do list!
What a fabulous idea, I love it.
Oh my gosh – fabulous!
And that WAS a great example of alliteration. This is coming from an English teacher who appreciates that kind of thing 😉
Love the bling board!
Happy SITS day!
That is very creative. It is very pretty. I would probably need to make three of these. I got to much junk:)
I so need one of these boards. My Hubs has untangled my jewelery box several times. He has a vested interest after all he did buy all of my jewelery.
Happy SITS Day
That is a fabulous board and what a funny post. I like your style!
bwahahahaaha… you crack me up – now I’m going to snoops around until I can find out exactly what color “sick cookie monster” is!
I thought I was so witty when I built shelves into my closet and pounded in enough nails to hang my necklaces/bracelets on… now I’m thinking that it’s not nearly cute enough – what will hubby say? eh, who cares – gotta go find some supplies!
I love it!! I have to get myself one of those! I am off to steal one of my Mom’s canvases!
What a cute idea! Can you please come organize my house. I am organizationally challenged
That is a fantastic idea! I might have to get me one of those.
I am so glad that you washed your hands after you ate an entire Tony’s pizza! I love Tony’s pizza! mmmm. I had a hard time focusing on the rest of the post after you mentioned it.
anyway, very clever bling storage!!!
Heehee! You bling out your board, sista…woohoo! Suddenly I am craving cookies..
So cool! I’m going to make one. I love it! And I’m adding your blog to my Reader. I love it!
Stopping in from SITS. Love the bling board and your blog.
I am sick today and your blog actually got a giggle out of me. Thanks for the laugh.
xoxo
Comin over from SITS-
I’ve been dealing with tangeled jewelry for far too long- this idea is brilliant! And pretty! Love it!
Hi, here from SITS and wowee!! I can’t make one because apparently the only thing I’m talented at is wiping shit from tiny bums…but I bet you could earn some money making those for people. Maybe you should start an Etsy account…maybe you already have one…regardless, what a gift you have!!
Coming over from SITS. I can’t wait to read your other features today! You are a fantastic blogger! LOL
Love your bling board!
that was super funny. thanks for a good laugh – and thanks for reminding me that I need to organize my bling. that was a totally sarcastic thanks, since I have nothing better to do, right. At least you gave a good idea for what to do with it all. However, I, too, have a hideously colored bedroom (I think it’s seasick oscar the grouch), so I have to repaint first. Or have my husband do it. You know, same same.
What a cool idea! A lot of people are filing it under “Why didn’t I think of that?” Very cool.
You are so funny!
Stopping by from SITS! Love your bling board! Very creative and cute. And you are a hoot! Have a great SITS day!
Stopping by from SITS! You are absolutely hilarious! Enjoyed reading your blog!
Hiya from SITS!! Awesome bling board! Now, I just know u can replicate 1 more and send it over to me? 😉
Thanks for the laugh and that bling board is genious!!
Happy SITS day!!
Um, please sell me one of these…now!
Wonderful post! I just love it!!! I am laughing my butt off! Great job on the jewelry board!
That is freaking cute!!! i may have to steal, um copy this idea! I love the line…”bawdy bling bordello” it just kinda makes music in my ears!! 🙂
Funny post and super cool creative craft ( I know you like alliteration). But you really do need to make one for yourself 🙂
Visiting from SITS … you are a HOOT! Love your sense of humor. And the board’s kinda cute too. 🙂
OH MY GOODNESS.
You are hysterical! And this is amazing….I can’t wait to find the time to try it out! Beautiful blog!
Too funny! I love the bling board, great idea.
Love this project!
Happy SITS Day!
haha, love the post and that bling board is awesome, did not know I needed one til I read your post
Happy SITS day
THAT is gorgeous! I HAVE to get me one of those! Thanks for sharing!
So unbelieveably clever! I might have to copy this!!!
You are funny! Thanks for sharing and happy SITS day!
Oooooo… it looks fab!
Hope you’ve enjoyed your SITS day 🙂
Too funny! Love your writing!
I love this! And you are absolutely hilarious!!
That is one mighty pretty Bling board. I think I’m gonna create a sister out of it!
I want you! I think a craft project is in order very soon!
bling board! i love it! i just use cork boards… this is much better.
Very cool!
I am totally diggin’ on this! Awesome!
Happy SITS Day!
Canvas?….check, was hiding in back of craft closet.
Pretty-sit-around-naked-in-ribbon?….check, but it might be tangled from Valentine’s with the hubby.
Hooks?….check, stole those out of hubby’s garage (shhhhh).
Chain?….check, had to break something for it, though.
Paper?….check, wait….How the heck did you pick those patterns and colors of paper and hope for a match for Seasick Cookie Monster? I think you were subconsciously making it for your daughter to end up with your jewelry, so the hubby would buy you some NEW stuff!!!!
Happy SITS day! You crack me up!
OH MY GOODNESS….you are hysterical and I love your point of views.
We’d make great friends as we are both sarcastic but creative!
Take care
Happy SITS day!! Your sense of humor is fantastic and I love the way your creative and organized brain works.
OMG That is soooo awesome! I LOVE your bling board idea. I might have to steal it… or borrow it for a short time. Did you ever get to make one for yourself to coordinate with your room?
And where did you get those flower thingies you hung the chain off of? I want some 🙂
GREAT blog… love it!
I LOVE your bling board! It’s so pretty. And simple. And useful. What an awesome idea. Thank God for his ideas! And the Angels that bring them to us =)
You are one funny gal! I really enjoyed this post.
And if you want to sit around wrapped in ribbon, I say GO FOR IT! Let others worry about their bejesus =)
Happy SITS day! OMG – I LOVE YOU!!! I can’t wait to stalk you regularly!
What a great idea, I want one too! You’re hilarious, so glad I found your blog through SITS.
Beatiful! I love it… My jewelry is in shambles and I never would have thought of this. You are BRILLIANNNT!
Brilliant kick-ass writing … visiting from SITS and glad I found you :o)
Victoria
Oh.My.God. You are too funny! Bet you hear that often since you also get those funny looks as a matter of course.
That is a really nice board. Pretty.
You know what I use? A cork board with boring old push pins. And the edges of this wire wall shelf which is next to my bathroom sink, and a couple of old jewelry boxes…..and the counter top…….and……the floor.
Happy SITS!
Jenn
VERY cool! I think I need one. But I also need on to hold my big chunky bracelets. And stuff. And I need someone to organize them for me each time I take them off. Can you sell me someone to do that, too? 🙂
love it, love it, love it! and love how you got the idea in the middle of a wedding by obsessing over your jewelry love triangle. i’m an obsessor (obsesser?) too and the best ideas come to me in the middle of everyone else’s life-moments!!!

SSSOOOOO FUNNY. I love your sense of humor! I also love the bling board…this will help me get all my jewlery up off my counter/dresser and up where there would be wasted space anyway. Great inspiration. Thanks!
Andy, I loved what you did here. I was looking for ways to organize jewelry and yours really appealed to me ! It looks beautiful as well .. .I have a home made jewelry organizer too but it is much more simpler . It is a few zip locks stored in various ways 🙂 depending upon the kind of space I have at that time:)
I have mentioned your beautiful artwork in my blog http://workingmaa.com/post/2011/01/19/How-do-You-Organize-your-Jewelry-.aspx . You can check it out if you like 🙂
Great work!

Thank you! I just tried to leave you a comment on that blog post but it won’t take? I keep clicking “save comment” but nothing happens. 🙁
Thanks so much Andy! I did not expect you to be that fast Ha Ha 🙂 . Anyways , I feel so pleased that you wanted to leave a comment there and sorry for your inconvenience !

WorkingMaa..
I am looking for a way to organize my jewelry, makeup, and pretty much my whole room. If I had this creative gift like you I would make more and sell them. This looks like something I would buy.
And the one like you have in the picture would really match my room colors
Um, I just came here to read about your bling board, but then I choked on my pico degallo because I was laughing so hard, spit milk out my nose when I thought I was done laughing, but wasn’t, and bruised my tailbone from rolling on the floor. Thank you, for being so geniusly hilarious and creatively creative at the same time. Brilliant.
Love this idea. I have so many necklaces I really don’t know how to organize them all, but this should help. Thanks!
