Have you been looking for a great way to organize your office, store your craft supplies, or handy ways to organize teaching supplies with a rolling cart? Check out my craft supply organization makeover!

I have been looking for an organization cart for craft supplies for a while now! For the longest time I had my craft supplies stored in a couple fabric bins, but that was getting to be a digging war...not to mention there were a bunch of things too heavy for that setup....

  

 So, I found this little beauty and TA-DA, all of my craft supplies and some extra supplies fit into this ROLLING CART that is so handy. I can roll this from room to room with ease on our tile floor, and it has locking wheels when I want it to stay put. It looks much better, and it is SO much easier to find supplies...NO more digging!!! 

Get your own {here}!! 

Here's what I have transfered to, I think you will agree that it looks much better, I HOPE! lol. 

The bottom drawers are big enough for yarn, paint supplies, fabric, sewing supplies, you name it!

Removing Salt from Nuts

Tweet

Have you ever noticed the extreme difference in price with the "raw/natural" nuts in the packages vs. the salted ones in the bulk section?  Well, I have always bought the more expensive ones with no added salt, then I got a better idea. I could buy the nuts from the bulk section and remove the salt!!! 

 Here are the results from this experiment, it worked out GREAT! :D

Check out the before pictures here, SO much salt, it wasn't even enjoyable - TOO MUCH!

So, after seeing all of this salt I started looking around for my strainer, hoping this idea would work! 

 Please excuse my strawberry mess in the sink :) There was so much salt covering the bottom of the sink after straining all of the nuts, take a look for yourself!

I put a cup or so of nuts into my large strainer and shook it around above the sink and TA-DA! Almost all of the salt disappeared! 

I hope you found this tutorial useful, please let me know if you end up using this and if you find any other foods that work in the same way to reduce the amount of sodium. We are trying to limit our sodium intake. 

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a wonderful day
