Next to the desk, the area of our home that tends to be the most unorganized is our kitchen table. This is due solely to accumulating piles of paperwork/mail. I had these two hanging organizers in my old classroom and decided that instead of moving them to my new school, I would keep them for home. I got them when I worked at Pier 1. They were marked way down and by the time I added my employee discount I couldn't pass them up. I had my lovely husband hang them on an empty wall in the kitchen next to the table. Not sure if I love the location yet, but it seems to be working. So I started sorting the paperwork into the six pockets provided by the organizers. All was good and the table was clear of mail.
However, while I knew and could remember what each pocket was for, hubs could not. I pondered for a while how I could label the pockets in a neat and functional manner. Fabric marker?... not neat enough. Stick-on labels?... will eventually fall off. That's when I stumbled across these Avery printable iron-on fabric transfers at Wal-Mart. Perfect.
I spent about an hour online searching for FREE printable customizeable labels. I finally settled on pantry labels that I found on
Better Homes and Gardens website. I added my text (Aaron, Ali, Bills, Coupons, File, and Outgoing) and printed them off. The Avery fabric transfers came with WONDERFUL printing and iron-on directions. Make sure to follow them to a T.
