Household Organizer

I bought this chipboard binder at Archivers. I covered it with CTMH paper. I just loved this paper. It's still one of my favorites.

I stamped copy paper cut in half with my initial and used for notes to teachers and anything else I had to keep track of. 

The pockets were made by folding card stock in half. I thought I would keep reciepts in there but they are all still in my purse somewhere. LOL

During the summer we have a lot of sports going on so I had to had a section for our sons baseball games and the REDS!

I just used page protectors to put all my charts/lists in so I wouldn't have to keep punching holes. 

This section is for groceries and meal planning. I would just take my entire binder to the grocery store and voila uncluttered shopping. 

I printed out several blank copies of my typical grocery list so I just had to write down the number of items I needed and crossed it off my list after it was in my cart. I never forgot anything when I used this.

I created an address book in Excel and used printed multiple copies and put them in the book

I had a section will all the important school info such as bus times, ptc and school functions. I was never surprised at the last minute by the kids forgetting to tell me about something. 

I hand stamped several sheets of copy paper and stuck them in the page protector

New Look

After searching for what seemed like hours I have found some new layouts that I like for my blog. I have played a little with some backgrounds and new fonts. Let me know if you like it.  Thanks

Message Center

I made this message board using a 12 x 12 sheet of card stock coverd with paper from CTMH. I then used stickey notes and cut a 4 x4 piece of cork board and attached to the base page as well as used a 4 x 4 sheet of dry erase board. I attached a strip of stickers to a strip of magnet and attached to the base page. The base page has magnets on the back to hang on the fridge.

All paper from Close to My Heart.

Thanks for looking

Scor-tape too much?

About 5  years ago I was at a paper crafts convention here in Fort Wayne.  I came across a both for Pk Glitz. A company that makes embossing powers, glitters and adhesive. I bought 6 rolls of their double sided tape and fell in love with it. It was before I knew about scor-tape. After I used all the tape up and I cried I moved on and forgot all about PK glitz until I started using scor-tape. I thought that Pk had the tape for much cheaper and bigger rolls. But I just couldn't remember the name of the company. So one day while going through my desk drawer I found Pk's business card and on the back I wrote sticky tape. Then it all came back to me.

I have have used their tape along with scor-tape and can not find ANY difference at all. They both seem to be of the same stickyness. Is that a word? The PK Glitz 1/4" sticky tape is 55 yards and only  6.95 where as the Scor-tape is only 27 yards for 4.99. Anyway I thought I would pass this along to you.

Check them out!
