Hi everyone! Ashley here with my first Simple Stories blog post and today I'm talking about organization. It's springtime, so for a lot of us, that means cleaning and organizing- whether it be our closets, our finances, or the garage! But, what about the kids? They come home from school daily with piles and piles of paperwork- art, permission slips, homework logs, etc. so what in the world do we do with it all?
These Odds & Ends 12x12 Memorabilia Pockets are perfect to help tidy up all that paperwork! I lightly embellished two of the pockets with the Awesome line and then attached them together using jute. I labeled one for incomming papers and one for outgoing paperwork.
This will hang next to my son's door and will definitely help us keep the loose papers together and organized!
This would be great for anything really- it could work in your home office, at work, in the kitchen, etc. and you can change up the theme using any of the Simple Stories lines.
Don't forget to leave a comment on our Facebook page by Monday, April 23rd for your chance to win a Summer Fresh collection kit!
Thanks for stopping by today!
