January's Organization Round-up

So I am a little late posting these, but I just joined the Organization Junkie blog and I liked that she was doing file cabinets in January. My file cabinet has been very neglected, since our move I have not even filed anything.*gasp* It has all been sitting in a pile in my to-do basket. This really wasn't too dramatic of a change, since I go through my files at least once a year. I was due to get them cleaned-out and it was a good excuse to take the opportunity and make them look nicer.


Well here is my before picture:


I used this challenge as an excuse to buy a label maker, I have been wanting one for a long time. I reassessed what I wanted in our household files, and then went through each file and cleaned out old papers that I didn't need, then printed labels and used all the same color folders for a tidier look. Then I filed the pages in my to-do basket. Ta-daa!
