The Hasty Office Makeover

Do your office drawers look like this?

Do you have banks and banks of them? Do you get tired of looking at all that mess? I did. I needed a Hasty Craft to cover up the random papers showing in all my files. (Hasty does not equal organized, I'm afraid. This is why you won't see a picture of my entire desk. It's just too embarrassing.)

Turns out that Hobby Lobby carries scrapbooking papers! Who knew? (Probably everyone who scrapbooks. I realize this. But I like doing things digitally, where I can get an immediate result. Ergo, no scrapbooking for me and I get to be constantly amazed at the variety of papers that Hobby Lobby offers. I like a little wonderment in my life.) I found some I liked and did this to my drawer fronts (resisting the temptation to do every drawer in a different cool paper. Uniformity was the goal here):

And the rest of the office:

I happened on this serendipitous piece of fleece in Joann's as I did this makeover:

Matches nicely, don't you think?

All I did was cut the paper to size and drape the fleece over the back of the chair, but I'm happy with it! Here's to Hasty Crafting without repentance. *happy sigh*
