You may have noticed, I’ve got a thing for labeling. I like to label everything from refrigerators to baskets to buckets. Labels are an important step in the organizing process…but why not make ’em cute? That’s what I say, anyway. And as these examples show, cute doesn’t even have to be time consuming. It can be super-simple.

Here are some ideas:

In the example above, you just use a pre-made tag from Wal-Mart. (These are Paperbilities brand in the scrapbook section.) Just add some ribbon (from American Crafts) and your own handwriting and doodling…and you’ve got yourself a label. (The basket was from the Target dollar spot. I snagged it a month or so ago.)

This little bucket is sporting the same store bought label, this time with Orfray ribbon (Wal-Mart again.) And the words “stamp pads” are stamped using this and this (discontinued).

This last example uses the same stuff, but simply adds a card-stock letter (from My Minds Eye—really old!) for an added bit of color and fun.

So there you go…if you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, why not label some bins, buckets, baskets or jars? Or you could always do something more traditional like a BBQ, but what fun would that be? 😉

Whatever your plans for this weekend, have fun!

By the way…I’ve been getting some great questions about The Quick + Simple Clutter Control Workshop. If you have a question, too, post it in the comments. I’ll do a blog post to answer all the workshop Q’s later this weekend.
