Labels for your organizing projects

The headline on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens said "Get Organized!" Got my attention.

I am planning a remodeling job inside my condo, so I've been clipping idea pictures from magazines. There were some on my kitchen counter, some on the coffee table, and some actually pretty organized in a loose leaf notebook

I found a great Martha Stewart basket at K-Mart that fit perfectly in my armoire. In it went the loose leaf notebook, and all the loose clippings. Also the files from the estimates I've gotten for the new hurricane windows and the construction. Wow, I feel so liberated!! (From the piles.)

Do you ever pack things neatly away in an attempt to get organized, then you wind up hiding them from yourself? And then spend hours looking for them? One idea from BH&G that I thought was cute and useful: Labels for your baskets. Make your own on card stock and tie with colorful ribbon or order from Sesame Letterpress for $1 each.
