I have the new Iris 3 tier project case holder and it works perfectly for my monthly bills.  I have one labeled for my monthly household bills, one for credit card receipts and one for bills related to my beach house. 

As I process my daily mail and receipts, I place each piece in the appropriate project case.  When the time comes to process them, I pull the project case out and everything I need is right there together.  The case can travel with me to another part of the house or in the car if I am working on it while I travel.  It saves me time as I no longer have to search for all related items when I am paying bills.  And, it keeps me organized to readily find whatever bill or receipt I am looking for.

Note: The 3-Tier Project Case holder includes 3 Project Cases.  It is also available as a slim size.

As stated before, I am a scrapbooker.  So you can imagine how pleased I was when I received from my true love, on the 12th day of Christmas, a Scrapbook Hanging File Box and extra Hanging Files!

This transportable file box is made especially for scrapbookers on the go!  It is sized to hold albums and can organize your photos and paper up to 12″ x 12″ in the included clear hanging files (3 are included – extra hanging files sold separately).  The box even has a removable snap shut organizer in the lid to hold your tools and accessories!

Now you can take your projects on the go or just make it easier to have everything on hand when you have a free afternoon to indulge yourself in your hobby.  And with all the Christmas photos that will be taken in my household, I’m going to need a LOT of free time to indulge!

Happy Holidays and Happy Organizing!

I am the keeper of the family photos.  Meaning, I have all my childhood photo albums.  I have my dad’s old family photos.  I have my father-in-laws family photos.  I have photos of family members who passed on long before I was born!  Add that to the thousands of photos I have taken over the years (not counting the digital photos I have stored in various places). 

I also enjoy scrapbooking.  Having my photos organized by theme or event is very important to me.  I hate to create an entire scrapbook page only to discover a lone photo that got left out.

Of course, all of this prompted my true love (my husband), to give to me on the 11th day of Christmas, a Double Photo Keeper.  It is a new item at Space Savers…and one that is very well received!  This is what Spacesavers.com says about it:

“With 12 individual acid free photo cases, you’ll be sure to have your favorites handy at all times! Just grab a case and show off your latest pictures to your friends! Large size photo storage case has carry handle too!”

I use each case too organize photos by date or event (i.e. Summer Vacation 2006, Uncle Bill’s Birthday 2008, etc.).  As you get prints made, you can put them in the individual cases and take them with you to show off to family and friends.  The cases snap securely so you don’t have to worry about them getting crinkled, crunkled and damaged like they would in a photo envelope.  The cases hold up to 4×6 photos.  I like this system because it keeps photos separate and provides extra protection for those old family photos.  The photo keeper is also available in a smaller, single size.  Individual cases can also be purchased separately.
