Grouping pictures together on a wall can really make a statement, but it can be intimidating.
1. Lay a large sheet of paper out on the floor. Play with arranging the pictures on the paper. Remember that the top line of an arrangement should be level to guide the eye in the right direction.
2. When you're finished, trace around each picture frame to make a template.
3. Number each picture with a sticky note and write that number on the template.
4. Remove the pictures. As you do, flip each over and use a ruler to measure how far down you will need the nail and mark that on your template.
5. Attach the template to the wall with some tape, and gently tap an awl at each spot you've marked for your nails.
6. Take down the paper and put in the nails. Then you can hang the pictures according to the numbers on your map.

Getting in Gear for Thanksgiving!
Are you ready to give thanks? Or maybe not, if you're hosting the party. I have some timesavers to help!
1. Use a three ring binder to organize your holidays. You can keep shopping lists, menu plans and recipes for every holiday in the binder. You'll always know where they are, you can add to it anytime!
2. Prepare and freeze anything that you can in advance. It will save you time and space on the holiday!
3. Whenever you're cooking in the oven, clip a battery powered timer to your clothes so that you don't have to worry about not hearing the timer and burning your dish!
4. For thanksgiving leftovers pick up take out containers at your local restaurant supply store. This way you can send leftovers home with your guests without worrying about getting your dishes back.
5. Finally, lay out all of your serving dishes in advance and use sticky notes to label what you want in each. This way, when people are trying to help, you can direct them to the notes and not send them searching through the cabinets!
