Organization Fun - Displays with a Purpose!

Like all teachers I am sure, I feel I never have time to keep certain areas of my life orderly during the school year. There are so many better things to do on a weekend - like lingering over my coffee instead of inhaling it as I do on school days. I attempt to have things organized in the summer - in such a way that I cannot destroy it when school resumes. 

This leads me to my obsession, well, one of them...Jewelry!! I have oodles of necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Truly, I have tons! I have bought some, received bunches and made probably hundreds more as well. (I got this amazing bracelet rack here!)

I have learned over the years that I detest knotted jewelry piles with passion! I have two necklace trees and a bracelet rack that work well - but these next two are my favorite organizers.

First we have my necklace bulletin board - I bought this at HomeGoods about five years ago. I opted for the clear pushpins since I wanted the jewelry to pop more. This was fast and fun to setup!

I absolutely love this - it makes getting ready so much more fun and a lot easier. I like to load it up with my current go-to necklaces.

My second favorite thing is my earring frame.

I bought a simple frame from Michael's and some needlepoint plastic screening. This one was wicked easy too, I just took out the glass and cardboard, then used those to measure the correct size for the screening. After that I just had to tuck the screen in. I find I have not lost any earrings since I made this about 2 1/2 years ago!

I love how they serve two purposes: they are cute and make it easy to admire (and remember) what I have for jewelry - and they keep my life from being a disaster area!

So I have a wee bit of an organization problem, and I am sure I am not the only one.  What are you all obsessive about organizing?
