Scrapbooking has become an entire industry in recent years with supplies and tools that do everything from die-cutting to stamping. There are so many pieces, big and small, and it’s important to keep things sorted and categorized.

One product I really like is this stackable paper tray which protects the paper and also provides an extremely neat display. The trays have a “lipless” design - you can pull any sheet of paper from a tray, even from the bottom, without disturbing the entire stack. And of course, it reduces clutter and increases your scrapbooking productivity!

Get Hitched Give Hope is a local non-profit group started by businesses in the Seattle area who specialize in the wedding and bridal industry. They host an annual event to raise funds to grant wishes for breast cancer patients. This year, they are partnering with BuyMyTronics to help reduce and recycle electronic clutter and raise money!

I’ve talked about this specific organizing challenge many times - and here is a great way to get rid of that old cell phone or laptop that is gathering dust in the closet at work or home. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to donate any gadget you’re not using anymore and feel good about it, too.

To make it even easier, Innovatively Organized will act as a collection agent, so just get ready to hand over that old cell phone, computer or video game when we see you!  Or contact us to have us pick it up or schedule time to drop it off with us.  They won’t be collecting forever so contact us SOON!

There is no excuse for towels to be on the floor or bath accessories to be scattered in the tub with this innovative organizing product. And the best part is that no tools or hardware are needed for installation.

The Everloc system uses suction cups with a special silicon ring that adheres to the surface and creates an airtight seal. That means no more washcloths or back scrubbers perched precariously on the tub ledge or on the counter top!

For many people taking vacations this year, it means traveling by highway instead of by air. Make sure to keep the inside of your car neat and organized so you can arrive at your destination with only fun and relaxation in mind. I recently read an article from Martha Stewart offering some really great organizing tips for the trunk of your car.

• Lighten your carload by arranging supplies in a handled bin.
• Items kept in the car have a tendency to roll around and get lost beneath seats, so it helps to organize them in a heavy vinyl catchall.
• Stock it with paper towels, first-aid kit, auto fire extinguisher, duct tape, flat-repair kit, bungee cords, and a bag filled with flares, jumper cables, and other necessities.
• Also consider packing a messenger bag with bottled water, granola bars, a blanket, and warm clothing, in case of a breakdown.

Waiting in line, on the bus, in between meetings - if you’re on-the-go but still want to maximize your time, the iPhone is a great mobile tool. It supports an abundant number of applications, and I recently discovered that you can view the latest Mary Kay® products online and actually flip through the Mary Kay catalog on your iPhone!
