Staying Organized

In a recent newsletter that I sent to my customers, I talked a little about staying organized.  I promised that I would keep a list on my side bar of different ways people stay organized.  Here's some of the ideas.  I will add this as a link to my side bar.  If you have any ideas you'd like to share, please leave a comment so I can add them to my list.

1. Scan the sticker sheet before mounting stamps and keep the copy in a binder for easy reference as to the stamps you have.

2. If you see a store is going out of business, often times they will sell their shelving.  Purchasing a shelf that can be mounted to a wall and allows you to display stamp sets so that the front shows also lets you see what you have.

3. Get a file cabinet and staple a ziploc bag to each side of a hanging file folder.  Label each bag (alphabetically or by family group) and store scraps in the bags.  When you need a scrap check here first!

4. Use a lazy susan type container for tools.  The Pampered Chef tool holder is a popular one for many paper crafters.

5. Use ribbon holders for all of your ribbon.  Stampin' Up! has some great ones to use and come in 3 different sizes.  These can stack easily too.

I only have a short list, but I will continue to add as I come across ideas or I hear from you.  With New Year's just a few short days, getting AND staying organized is a common New Year's Resolution.

Speaking of New Year's Resolution...if getting your finances in order (paying off credit cards, adding to savings, etc...) and earning extra money is one of your resolutions, now is the time to seriously think about making a career with Stampin' Up!  Thanks to my customers and downline, I do make the extra money each month to help with our finances!  YOU can too!

I have an Opportunity Night scheduled for Thursday, January 15 at 7pm.  I would love to share more about Stampin' Up! as a BUSINESS with you at that time.  If you can't make it (or live out of the area), I can set a phone appointment to share this information.  Call me at 815-274-2386 to set the appointment. Make 2009 the year YOU have a job you LOVE!

Thanks for the visit!!
