* Diary of a Sweet Little Blonde *: D.I.Y: Shopping + Notepad

I don't know about you, but I LIVE and BREATHE

shopping lists...actually, I don't want to even

box myself into that category.

I love all lists in general,
not just shopping ones.

Lets just get that right out in the open.

Grocery lists. To-Do Lists. Home Improvement Checklist.

Vacation Packing list.

[This is on the side of my refrigerator.
I rest my case.]

Everything is a list.

So when I ran across this little mini

Do-It-Yourself project

(D.I.Y for all you crafters out there)

on the Smitten Blog Design blog

(I think I told you all they are redesigning my blog,

I'm very excited!)

I wanted to share it with you.

I try and plan my meals out for the week

because its super annoying to

have to run back and forth to the

grocery store several times a week

for just a few ingredients you don't have

for a particular recipe,

so I love the concept and idea of this

cute little meal planner + grocery list in one!

Directions:

1) Head over to the Smitten Blog to print out your shopping lists here.

You can print any combination you want - I went with 30 total, 10 of each color.

2) Cut them out; take your time. No one likes a jagged edge!

3) Place them in whatever sequential order you want. I liked the green/orange combo, so I placed that one on top! :)

4) Secure with a clip, which will making the sealing process that more painless. You will need a silicone sealant, which you can find at a hardware store (don't try Michaels, or ANY craft store for that matter. They don't sell it). I found this one for $5 at Lowes- its potent stuff, so be careful and make sure you don't get it on your skin or eyes (huge irritant) and be sure to use it in a well ventilated space, preferably by an open window.
