Organizing Keepsakes and Old Cards You’re Saving

Ideas for Organizing Cards & Other Keepsakes

Ideas for Organizing Keepsakes

While putting our Christmas decorations into the attic after the holidays, I noticed boxes that I had not opened in the fifteen years we have lived in our current home. I decided it was time to do a little of my own purging, so I brought down a box from the attic filled with cards from family and friends and love notes from my husband. As I sat at the kitchen table sorting through the box, I recalled memories connected to the handmade cards from my boys and my husband’s affection for me put into words. There were also cards inherited from my mom upon her passing that I had given her in years past. With tears in my eyes, I realized how incredibly blessed I am, but seeing the cards reminded me how much I missed her.

Home Organization Products : Hooks & Drywall Anchors

 

Often after reading an article or watching a TV show on ways to get organized, I get hooked and want to get started right away on my favorite projects. However, I usually find out that I don’t have all the right organizing products and tools to get the job done correctly.

On one of my project shopping trips, I went to a local hardware store to gather supplies for adding some organization to our newly remodeled bathroom. I did not make it very far down my list because I got caught up looking at all the Command™ brand hanging solutions and other hardware.

The variety of Command hooks keeps getting bigger and better, which means more options on where and how to use these simple but invaluable organizing products. As I stood in front of the display, grabbing package after package, my arms filled with products and my mind began to fill with ideas for this month’s article.

Last month we talked about organizing your jewelry and creative ways to use hooks. This month I want to talk about hooks and hardware in general and how the various items can work with many organizing projects.
