Folder with label
Plain Manila file folder
The P touch on top of the plain folder
The Bic Mark It Permanent Markers
the Pretty file foldersMy office is always a place that collects every paper, every form, every receipt, you name it, it winds up on my desk! So, I have vowed to start to throw more away and the stuff that stays must be in a folder....so....I went to buy a big box of plain manila folders. Well, I went to
Wal Mart and they did not have any plain manila folders. I even asked a manager that was checking the section. I then found some brightly colored fun folders that were marked down on clearance to $4. The manager offered to mark them to $2 each pack. There were 12 folders per pack. I am sorry I did not buy more. It was so nice that he offered, I did not have to ask. I also got these Bic permanent markers for $3 for the pack. These work wonders for labeling and also for the kids school projects or mommy projects. Also you will see that I already have a p-touch label maker and also lots of used plain manila folders. They do seem to look a lot better once they are labeled. I already have my 2010 taxes folder ready. I keep receipts for donations to charity in there. I dare not post any before and after of my office...it is scary at the moment, but it will get better and I promise to post the before and after when I have enough of a difference in the before and after photos......How do you organize your offce? Ideas please.
I love new office supplies and organizing! There's nothing quite like getting all your ducks in a row inside pretty folders. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your sweet comments on my blog. In regards to my metal number 2 that was in my post from a few days back...I got that one at Anthro on clearance. But I've also bought some from Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off and then just spray painted them the colors I wanted. Etsy is a great resource for vintage ones. I've been in search a vintage P and H for my kid's rooms and I've found quite a few contenders in Etsy shops. Hope that helps! Have a fun day!! Heather
