After a month or two of few and far between blog posts, I decided to take a step back and see why blogging was becoming a bit of a burden versus something I love to do. I realized that I unknowingly had started to listen to the beat of everyone else’s drummer instead of mine! I wanted every blog post to be spectacular with lots of information and pretty pictures. I had set my standard so high that I couldn’t even reach it! Silly PiG.

One day while I was reading a blog post by Jenny of Crossing the Bugger-Dixon Line, I came to the realization that I was trying too hard. I was trying to keep up with blogs and businesses who employ a staff. I do have 8 contributing writers but the rest of the time it’s just lil’ ole me. Ya know…I like it that way. I like chatting with you about lil’ stuff…and BIG stuff. I love sharing my knowledge and passing along tips, tricks and fab ideas I find while traveling the party blogosphere.

Now, how do I get back to writing…PorK ChoP style? I looked at Jenny’s blog—which I adore— and she has this way of sharing ideas with just a few photos and a minimal amount of words. Her equation didn’t quite add up for me though. I’m a chatty piggy as you can tell by the three paragraphs I have already written! How do I blog so y’all don’t get overwhelmed by too much information but don’t get bored with too little? I’m not quite sure how I’m going to achieve this yet…but I’m gonna try! Here’s my first attempt…

What do you do with all of these?

Go to a dollar store and purchase these containers—$1 per 4-pack.

Stack your cupcake wrappers inside…

…even your lil’ ones.

Your wrappers won’t get crushed and you can stack the containers when storing them. You can also see exactly what you have so you don’t buy duplicate wrappers!

Cupcake Wrapper Storage for a $1. Not too shabby.

I hope you’re inspired to organize your party supplies in easy and inexpensive ways!
