Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

This weeks show is all about Organizing to Completion, and that means dealing with all those pesky leftovers that you don’t quite know what to do with. The keys, bits of paper, odds and ends are all called “leftovers” around here.

Never fear friends, Maja gives practical advice on how to sort through the “leftover” rubble and give it a home or send it packing!
- Get the non-assigned items into one spot
- Use the Motto - Top to Bottom, Left to Right, focus, Focus, FOCUS! While you sort through
- Think “Are you sure you need it??”, and does it work?
- Consider where it should belong in your home
- Now place it there and remember where you’ve put it, write a list if needed

You’ll feel tidy right down to your toes when you incorporate these tips for Organizing to Completion. Time to tackle the leftovers around your home and pat yourselves on the back!

Find - Laminator Lovin’

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

My find this week works in the office, is likely stored there, but has uses all around the house! It is a personal laminator and I had wanted one for ages and finally got one before Christmas. Let me tell you - I LOVE IT!!! It is one of those things that once you have it, it is surprising how many times you think to use it.

I used it to laminate my care sheet for the laundry room, a small sign at the front door asking people to knock first, kids activity schedules, favourite, often used recipes (stick on the back of your spice cupboard door for easy access), crafts… There are so many uses that it will be one thing once you own, you will wonder how you got along without it for so long. The sheets can be fairly pricey though, so try not to go TOO crazy - I had to hold myself back just a little! Enjoy!

This is a great laminator by Fellowes>
