The second half of Week 4 of "Project Clean Up 2017" required me to get my Greeting Card box in order and boy, did it need it!!
These cards, for the past 12 years, have been filed in an old Avon cardboard box. At one time, they were filed neatly and separated, but over time, they have made their way everywhere! The lid was beat up a long time ago which mean that anything and everything in the air of a garage can get to these cards. Sigh....
I sorted through them, tossing any bent up envelopes or cards and began making stacks of categories.
Time for my "go to"..... that Sterilite plastic container with snap on lid!
I wanted something nice and colorful to separate the occasions so I went with these great file folders...
The only thing I didn't figure in were the measurements of the folders. It was either that I put them in the container width wise which would have been way too short causing them to fall or put them in deep wise, in which case, I had to cut them smaller. So, I went with the deep. Since I have to grab things quickly with a life like mine, I chose to write in deep marker so I wouldn't make in mistakes when grabbing a file.
I had quite a few files, just making sure each had a correct home. I am very pleased with it! Snap the lid on and it is ready to be put back up on the shelf....more organized this time!
Will be checking in with some Week 5 results this week. See you then!
