We bought a
- basket from Target (or anything of your choice that will fit a manila file folder)
- manila file folders
- scrapbook paper - cut to 11"x7 1/2" & 3"x1"
- 12x12 paper cutter
- personal paper cutter
- scrapbook adhesive squares
- label maker
We made a list of the folders that we would want in our box and printed labels with my label maker (a must have in my opinion, but I am a little obsessed with organizing)! Here is what I have folders for:
- My husband
- Myself
- Daughter #1
- Daughter #2
- To Do's
- Catalogs/Magazines
- Coupons
- Projects
- Grocery List
My beautiful friend hard at work, I love her! Oh and see our cute basket we purchased from Target!
Here are the finished folders....I sure do LOVE them!
I think this will probably take the place of my family home binder that I made a couple years ago. So, I will be adding more folders to my system!

Hey LOVE the basket!! With the layout of our new house this idea seems to be better for me than the binder I had in KS. It's all about location & there's no place for a binder in my kitchen which is where I need it!! I had found this idea here http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/2010/12/mobile-command-center.html
ReplyDeletebut like your basket as opposed to her "crate". Miss you & I love that friend of yours too! :)
Thanks Teresa! We had a TON of fun putting them together! Wish you could have been here with us! I totally added www.abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com to my blog favs. Super cute stuff! I like her calendar that she attached on the front. Not sure that I would want it on the front, but maybe inside my cute little basket! Miss you and I LOVE all your family daily life stories!
