Organization

My husband is always calling me a "nerd" because I love organization. I really didn't think I was organized until I started working my first office job and people would tell me how I drive them nuts with my organization. I do have a place for everything- I want to find things fast and hate looking for things, knowing that I just saw it somewhere. So for today, I am going to give some tips on organizing.

Idea Books and magazines:

I have file folders in a small holder labled with the following ( I wish I had a couple others):

Baby - For anything baby, kids, childlike etc.

Christmas - Any Holiday in the winter

Cinco De Mayo

Congratulations

Dad - Fathers Day, anythng "masculine"

Easter

Fall

Friend

Get Well

Graduation

Halloween

Independence Day

Love

Military

Mom

Other/Misc - For anything that does not have a category

Sorry/Sympathy

Spring

St. Patricks Day

Summer

Thanksgiving

Thank You

The labels above are the ones that I have found to use the most. As I find pictures of cards or layouts I like, I print them and file them for future use. I also go through my magazines and make copies if I like both sides of a page and file them as well. Now, when I need quick inspiration, I go there to get it. Oh, and I almost forgot-I also store my already made cards there. You have to organize this on where you would put the theme. For me, when I look at a card with a purse on it, I think "friend". Someone else may not.
