Getting a Start on Bee-ing Organized in 2013

Raise your hand if you are a fan of Martha Stewart.  Oh yes.....I see quite a few of you.

   

Now, how many of you know about her fabulous office line at Staples?  Lots of you again.

Well, I am a sucker for Martha so I headed out to Staples in another attempt to help Worker Bee and I stay organized.  (And yes, the milk glass taco is helping with the mail.)  I decided to buy some of the plastic envelopes with a wide adhesive strip to put on the doors of our computer armoire.  

Up until this morning I had cork tiles adhered to the doors of the armoire.  Great for pinning things up there, but not so great for organization.  (Can you believe I found mammogram results from 2009 on it? How embarrassing!)  

Well, of course, I couldn't just buy the envelopes, I also had to get some cute labels for them too.   

 I didn't think to get a before picture of the cork tiles, but they were just your basic cork tiles from Target that I cut to custom fit them into the insets on the doors.

I left one panel up on the opposite door, but I can see right now that those cards that Baby Bee made for Worker Bee are from about 3-4 years ago.  And Baby Bee hasn't been on Webkinz for about 3 years at least.

Hmmmm......already looking prettier than before....

Now when we sort the mail it has a labeled envelope to go in.  

 I labeled the 4 envelopes with Bills, To File, Action, and Baby Bee.  They are supposed to hold up to 50 sheets in each envelope.  I'll let you know if we have a sudden avalanche of paper.  

 And BONUS!  

Okay, I know it is totally dorky to get excited about paper clips, but look at those colors!  

They are red and JADEITE green!  Jadeite green paper clips – the paper clips of my dreams!

Hey, I told you it was dorky.  

 Don't they look all pretty and full of potential all nestled in their little aqua bed?  

 I just love how cute all of this looks.  (And yes, for those of you with eagle eyes that spotted those sad little post-it notes, they have been replaced with pretty post-it notes.)

 Now I just have to sort through this pile!  Pooey!

What are you doing to get organized for 2013?  

It sure is nice to see you stopping by for a visit.  

I just can't stand it!  I am so excited about the giveaways I have lined up over the next few weeks for you!  I am trying not to be a tease, but I am a dreadful one, aren't I!

Well, to power through that pile of papers (alliteration - a third grade standard) I'm whipping up a white mocha.  Would you like one too?
