A Blog Basket

I've accumulated a little messy pile of blog notes that needed organization.
I made myself a blog file basket.
I cut manila file folders to fit into my basket.
I saved the cuttings for next week's project. I have no idea what that is yet!
Gave the fold a good crease with a knife.
Stacked them in for a fitting. I used on of my favorite Longaberger baskets.
Printed labels in Word using Avery 8167 labels
Categories I use most: saved blog recipes, decorating ideas, crafts, etc. that I find on favorite blogs.
Also future post ideas and blog tips.
I can easily tote it anywhere....on the patio,
in the family room. 
I'm hoping it keeps my blog papers under control and makes things I've saved easier to find.
This set-up would work for whatever  paper chase you have.

Cheers!

    Cute idea. Beats my pile of post-it notes. And I may even have that same basket.

    Hi! I'm coming over from BNOTP today. I really love your blog basket. I'm just getting started, and I was wondering how I was going to keep up with everything. I'm now a follower. I'd love it if you visited me and followed me as well.

    Great idea. I love LB baskets! I just organized my blog papers/notes using a binder. Not as pretty as a basket! lol.

    What a wonderful idea! I hate to say it, but I have a cardboard packing box in my kitchen with all my recipes that I have photocopied out of books or magazines. There are so many. I try to keep them organized but to no avail. I think this is a splendid idea, and now I just need to look for the perfect basket. Yours looks great.

    I love seeing other people's organizational systems, especially if it's done in a pretty way. This is a good one
