In the world of creativity this is pretty low on the totem pole.... but with my love of organization, thought this was worth a small post. A while back, scrappy friend (scrapbooking) Angela and I went to one of those Friday night scrap nights at Archivers and I decided to spend the time making handmade cards. Scrappy friend Ang and I always have a good time giggling, eating and crafting together and we always enjoy leaving with a sense of accomplishment in multiple areas!! We have so many weddings, showers, and graduations coming up I wanted to have cards on hand, ready to go. But more importantly.... I am cheap! I can not stand paying $5 for a card at the store!! I usually use a 50% off Joanns coupon on the 25 pack of white blank cards + envelopes. I can't remember how much it ends up costing, but I think its like $10 after the coupon.
With all of my new cards I needed a special little place to keep them safe. I planned to use a cardboard photo box I had in my craft room, but turns out the cards I made a just are a little too tall for the box...of course! So I found this perfect little plastic organizer at Michaels this week for 50% off! It was $5.99! It has a flip lid and handy plastic separators to create different sections! I also got to use the label maker I borrowed from Momma :)

My new card keeper has its own little square in my Expedit shelving unit!! How cute!!
Next project is going to be a birthday calender/organizer. I am HORRIBLE at remembering birthdays and since facebook is fire-walled at school that doesn't help. Gotta love the message I get when I try to check facebook at school, "This site is blocked. Please tell your teacher." Uhhhhhh what if I am the teacher, shit! ;-) Hahah
