It's give-away time!
Remember the April give-away for National Letter Writing month? I decided to make May's give-away a sort of follow-up...
It's a hanging letter sorter!
It's made from the heavier outdoor weight fabrics in stripes and that lovely leafy print, backed with some bright lime green cotton. It's got two loops at the top you can pin up or run through a small curtain rod. (Or however else you can think to hang it!) Two pockets, both clearly roomy enough to hold all of your mail. Use one for ingoing, one for outgoing...use it for whatever you might need it for.
(It's not very big -- just a little under 12" x 12")
I've got several of these in my office -- one for file folders, one for shipping labels and swaps. They are by far one of my favorite organizational tools.
To enter: just leave a comment and I'll draw randomly like I always do. Comments must be received by Thursday, May 20 at 9 a.m.

Keep it simple
The contents of this box are why I wanted to know organizing tips. What's in here? Stickers and rub-ons. They had been confined to two very messy 12x12 drawers, both labeled accordingly. And both a pain in the neck to use. I hated digging through layers of rub-ons looking for alphabets.
I did a lot of searching for ways to store rub-ons. They stuck to sheet protectors, got lost in their drawer, and envelopes didn't work because I couldn't see them. Finally I just decided to use what I have (for now) and created a set of dividers from simple cardstock that would fit into a plastic shoe-box. You can see there in the very front the lime green sticker that serves for one of the divider tabs.
Better than the drawers? Yes. Can it get better? Probably. It's a start.
