Do you ever get in the mood to just make something pretty? I do!
So I dumped out my drawers all over the floor and made a total mess ( it feels quite liberating! ). Then I separated all of the objects by color.
Mmmm, pretty.

A few hours later...
and then a few more hours later...
I had this!
It reminds me of those fun I Spy books I had as a kid. The picture makes me so happy that I'm going to print it super large and cover my wall. I can't wait for my little brother to come over so we can play a giant game of I Spy ;)

I love this! Man, I miss I Spy....
I LOVE this! so pretty.colours make me happy too.
Cool collages! :D
Hope you're having a colorful day!

At first I thought I don't have enough stuff to do something like this, but then I had a closer look. I'm sure I have tons of pens and pencils in various colors. We also have balloons. And yarn. And thread. And hair bands. And stickers. And beads. In all, I'm sure anyone could find enough bits and bobs at home to make a collage like this, but I'm also quite sure most people would dread to spend the time making it and then putting everything back in its original place. It's nice to see somebody doing things like this! :)
What? No Green sunglasses that should be in the shape of clover? Highly disappointed, even if the collage is extraordinarily cool!! Oh, and I see you shop at Hobby Lobby as well (turtle). The cool factor just shot up ten points.
Awesome! You're very very talented. I love picture #2 and #6 the most :)
perfect explosion of color! this makes me happy!
Your collections and bits and pieces look so beautiful displayed this way. I'd say it was worth it to spend the time doing this!
Absolutely lovely and clever. Kind of makes me want to dump out things in my drawers for the sake of making something pretty ;)
Awesome - love it! :-)
I love it! My 10 year old daughter and I are going to do this on Saturday. It made me smile on a rainy day in Ohio too!
these are stunning! you have such a beautiful, creative mind. :) x
you should submit the last pic there: http://thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com/

Your posts never fail to make me smile! This is such a wonderful idea.
I love this idea!! I'm totally going to try something similar for my kids. How cool!! Thanks for sharing this. :)
It totally does remind me of I Spy! Super cute :)

haha this is amazing! I don't even think I have colored items like this laying around my drawers. Thanks for making this gloomy raining day into a rainbow full of happiness `=D
What fun! Would make a great poster for a child's room, too. Or my studio... = )
I wish I had that many colorful thingys. :)

You just made my day!

This is absolutely fantastic! I admire your dedication, that must have taken ages! These photos are so awesome! :)
Absolutely fantastic!
@OneGirl- That's so cute! This makes me think that it would be fun to make your own personal I Spy book by photographing your child's toys all in a mess and then printing out the pics in a little book for them. Now I'm all excited... I'm totally going to make a personal I Spy book for my brother!
This is fascinating! That is pure talent! Seriously, it stresses me out to think about even making something as pretty as that. Haha loooove it!
Its beautiful! <3
Ahhh. That looks so so neat!!!!!!

I see Texas :)
that is absolutely amazing! and gorgeous! It's great that you had all those different colorful items! I'm afraid if I did that, there'd be a lot of silver and black..nothing fun!
It makes me smile to see that pictures :) ¡COLOR!
@Andrea- Good eye!
This is sooo freakin' awesome! I want to do the same thing. Love your blog. It's always so inspiring.
That is an awesome idea! The image is fantastic. You should think about selling it as a wallpaper. I bet it would make a lot of little (and many of us bigger) girls super happy. :-)

This is genius and darling! I can't stop smiling. ^_^
This explosion of color makes me so happy!!!
Looks so amazing! And I'm impressed by the amount of colourful things you have. I'm pretty sure everything in my my drawers is both boring and grey.
i have a silly straw JUST like the blue one!!!!!!!!!!!....awesome!
i spy a monkey (blue)
i am the two anonamouses above! :D
Incredible photos & a great blittle project... but wow, you have all that stuff in your drawers???!
haha, before I scrolled down I was going to comment "THOSE REMIND ME OF I SPY BOOKS!" so wonderful. I love the tedious color categorizing. It looks lovely. I love how all your things are such bright colors!
Ha! That's awesome! Seems like a very relaxing past time and having the print (and knowing you created it completely, from start to finish!) will be so special!

This is brilliant!
this is so cool! I may have to do this next time I'm organizing my 'stuff' drawers :) x

You have some of the most random items in your drawers hehe.
I know someone in blog land who makes ispy patchwork quilts with lots of pretty material. They look very cool.
I spy happiness. . . Where's Waldo?
You're at it again, I love it!!!
How fun and colorful! This blog always brightens up my days! =]
wow i love the colors!!!
I don't know how you think of these wonderful, colorful, artistic things but I'm very glad you do!
This is why people should be able to have free time to do crazy, seemingly useless stuff! ;D This is awesome, my mom thinks so too :)
Cool idea(: I'm glad moo didn't mess it up, give him a hug from me!
I love this! And it reminds me of something a fellow kiwi lass did - organising objects by colour to make a colour BOOK for her children. Could your photos work for the same? Then it could be a gift for a toddler you know! You can see her beautiful images here.
(Sorry for first comment booboo.)
I love it! so colourful!
This is such a great idea! i so wanna do this too!!
i love it! but i was hoping you were going to say you glued them to poster board or something and were going to hang it up! xoxo
I only now found your blog, and it cheered my day to the max -even though I am going under the weather here! Needless to say I bookmarked your blog immediately. Thank you so much for the amazing good moodiness and funniness of this blog! And your cat is super cute, too :)

I'm jealous of how adorable the contents of your drawers are...if I tried to do this it wouldn't be nearly as cute. But yours is just fun!
so beautiful!
STUNNING.

LOVE this! When I play cars with my boys sometimes we sort them by colors and it just makes me happy. I take pictures too.
Crazy, insanely, awesome! Every time one of your posts comes up, I am so excited to read it as I know no matter what, it will always brighten my day! Thanks! :)
Totally agree.. I Spy heaven! Also a GREAT poster for a teacher to use as a learning tool in a classroom? Commercial possibility methinks...
Love it!!! Almost makes me want to try it...I'm afraid it might remain unfinished though!
that seems like such a fun game. you should pick the item he has to find and he the one you find and who ever finds it first gets one point the faster finder wins! you are so fun!
You are amazing!
My objects are not so colorfull. :P
You have quite an awesome assortment of items in your drawers. Much more colorful than anything I have would be.
aw i LOVE it!!!

You are going to be the best mom in the world.
that looks like sooo much fun. great result at the end too.
LOVE this!! Made me smile so big : )
Thank you, Katie, for sharing your colors and life with all of us. I so appreciate the boost of "happy" you give away through your blog, photos, videos and creative writing. Thank you.
Part way through I thought, "Huh, that looks like an I Spy picture." Then I see you had the same thought. I love the idea from another poster about making a personal I Spy book. I'm so all over that! My five year old loves I Spy, and he loves the homemade book we made about his first train ride. Bet your little brother will be geeked about the one you make for him.
This is great!
Super cool! I hope you make a second print and make it into a jigsaw puzzle.
OOOOHHH my GOOOOOOODDD! I LOVE IT! I love your freaky ideas and your lively bubbly fresh spirit...I fell in love with you when I first came to visit your blog.... <3 anonymous love greetings from germany*
What a wonderful idea! I love this. You should submit your idea to colorA2Z, I bet they'd love this kind of thing.
I featured a link to this over on my blog today! Hope you don't mind:) I just adore your blog!
