The winner of the 2 adorable Ice Cream Sundaes from My Precious Arrival is # 40 llinda29! Congrats!!
I am so excited to share with you a new line of products coming out! I recently had the honor of watching a webcast & trying some of Peter Walsh's new Home Office Organizing products from Office Max!! If you have a home office, work from home, or struggle to keep all those bills & papers organized you will love his new line of products!!
First, here are some of my favorite tips from Peter:
Pens
Who said a to-do list can’t be fun? Get out your pens, and color-code your tasks. For example, write out action items with a red pen, and use a black pen to cross out completed tasks. Then, write follow-up notes or comments with a blue pen. At the end of the day, rewrite the list for the next day with your current action items.
Desktop Sorters
Sometimes, you just need papers close at hand, right where you can
See them. But don’t just let them take over your desktop! Instead, organize papers in labeled folders and stack them in a stepped organizer.
Filling & File Folders
Chances are, you have a drawer devoted to your “I might need it”
files. Did you know 80% of those files aren’t going to see the
light of day? Create a binder devoted to all of those important documents; and purge those “I might need it” files at least once
every six months, and stock new file folders at the front
of your drawer, so you can easily organize current projects.
Labels
They’re not just for big storage boxes anymore! Clearly label all file folders with the
date a project started, as well as a descriptive, specific name for each
subject filed. File or store folders alphabetically for quick access.
Calendars
You might feel like multiple schedules lead to more confusion. For a
little planning relief, combine home and work calendars. Simply choose
various colors to mark important dates: one for professional tasks and
meetings, one for personal appointments, one for social engagements,
one for your children’s activities, and so on.
Cork Boards & Sticky Boards
No need to hang lists, phone numbers and reminders all over your cubicle
walls. Instead, create a one-stop message center with a cork or sticky board.
Hang your daily to-do list, phone numbers, and a weekly calendar of events and meetings. That way, you’ll have all your need-to-know information in front of you.
Here are the products I received. I loved the fun folders & especially the little journal!

I got some of that fab stuff, too, but vacay comes first! I love the little removeable post-it labels.
My desk is constantly cluttered! It is the one area in my house that needs help.
