FYI – a Silhouette is a craft cutting machine that can do amazing and wonderful things. It can cut vinyl, paper, magnet paper, temporary tattoo paper, rhinestone templates, fabric interfacing, templates for etching and more! The list of projects is endless.

One of my favorite blogs, Org Junkie, recently posted an article about how to decide if you should hire a Professional Organizer. It is filled with questions you should ask yourself before hiring one.
