Instead of expensive matching binders, I go for the cheap ones and dress them up with fun labels.
Having a binder of good ideas is almost just as fun as actually putting to use the ideas...
I make my own divider labels...here they are folded and stuck to my coupon organizing sheets (which are baseball card holders).
Made my own dividers with some card stock...so much cuter and way cheaper! And because I am in a generous mood, I would like to give some of these babies away! So comment if you would like to enter. The winner will walk away with 10 sheets of labels so that you too can be a fashionable organizer! I will announce the winner around Monday or something...

Oh That's adorable! I do too love to organize things around the house. Just like you do, I go for the cheap things and get creative and they turn out really cute! I love to dress things up with fabric. Love sewing! Please caount me in for your giveaway! Thank you! Vanessa
ReplyDeleteCute! I love your circle labels and the way you made your own dividers! Good idea. :) I have a binder for ideas that I tear out of magazines, but I haven't "prettified" it yet. ;)
ReplyDeletePick me pick me! There is nothing I love more than organizing. I don't really have much pretty organizing right now though so I'd love to have these labels to dress things up a bit!
ReplyDeleteI have been organizing like crazy lately and would love to have those pretty labels!! ;) What do you use to hold your coupons? Looks interesting...
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of reorganizing. I got rid of our HUGE file cabinet. We really didn't need something that big. I put the files and dividers into baskets on our shelves. Then monthly bills and statements go into three ring binders. I have been using card stock too! I love how you are using the labels. If they make it here I am sure I will put them to good use.
ReplyDeleteCount me in, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteOh, I knew I loved you. Crafting AND organizing.
ReplyDeleteI love my recipe binder and I'm always trying to organize the kid's stuff. I usually get images from google so they can "see" what is in each drawer, basket or bin.
Those are the cutest labels I've ever seen!
ReplyDelete*waving hand* Oh! Oh! Pick me!I am about to start purging my classroom stuff and my craft room. How much more motivated would I be if I had these to help me organize?
ReplyDeleteWhat adorable labels you have!!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed...

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I read this post because it sounds like something I would write! I'm an organizing addict! I'd love to have these come to my house and make it have a little more zip.
ReplyDeleteScore on the labels... I would LOVE to win a set... Afterall I am the most organized unorganized person!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could say I LOVE organizing, but to see my house would show you that I don't. BUT because I don't love it, I desperately need to do it! I am in the process of trying to organize my kids' rooms and the den (need more space for one more!) and could really use those labels!

Ooh, Ooh I neeeeeed some! You are the queen of organizing and I need some serious help!!
ReplyDeleteMy organizing skills are hideous!! That's why I need to win, so I can have some pretty organization:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the idea about using plastic baseball card holders for coupons, genius!!! I too love organizing and have been working on organizing my loose recipes. While I have the plastic envelopes to hold them, I need to make dividers (e.g.,dinner, dessert) to separate them. Hopefully I can use some of your ideas for inspiration and motivation.
ReplyDeletePick me! I have been following your blog for awhile and LOVE your ideas! I have new bookshelves and binders that could use some label love! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win me some organization help! What fun colors!

Oh Fashionista -
ReplyDeleteI have been decorating my binders for a few years and love the idea of using something pretty on the file folders. Good one! Saw some pretty file folders on a website and decided to try to spiff mine up with stickers and little pictures. Thanks for you ideas.
