I Love Freecycle - Free Gifts!
It's been quite awhile since I've written a post in the "I Love Freecycle!" series and I want to share with you some of my latest finds. You can see my previous posts in this series here for more on how Freecycle works and why I love it so much.
I saw a posting on Freecycle a little before Christmas for two new Christmas books. New! And free! Did I mention that I love Freecycle?

Command Centre: Wall Files for Papers
Do you have piles of paper on your kitchen counter, dining room table, or in your entryway?
You know the papers I mean? Those things that come in your house every. single. day. Like bills, invitations, and flyers. Or school work, newsletters, and permission forms. Or receipts and coupons.
All those things you need to do something with. At some point. But not right away. So you put them in a pile to deal with later.
And the pile gets moved a few times because you need the space for something else. Like cooking or eating :)
Then when you need something, you can't find it and have to scramble around as you're running out the door. Or you have to pay late fees because you forgot to pay a bill. Or you can't return something because you can't find the receipt.
Does any of this sound familiar? Even for those of us who like organizing, the daily accumulation of paper is a huge challenge. It just keeps on entering our homes!
If you don't have a solution for dealing with those daily papers, you'll easily be overwhelmed by it.
I'm embarrassed to show this, but here was where some of our paperwork ended up.

Organizing Resource: Project Organize Your Entire Life
I mentioned a few weeks ago that from time to time I will be sharing great resources to help you get organized.
I recently read a brand new e-book called Project Organize Your Entire Life: The Quick Start Guide. I loved it and I think you will too!

Organizing Ideas for the Weekend #11
Happy Friday! Time for another organizing idea for your weekend :)
Many of you have been excited about the over-the-door shoe organizer that I used in my linen closet. I am too! Just thinking about how I was able to use all that otherwise wasted vertical space makes me giddy.
I know... I'm a little crazy that way. But it doesn't seem like I'm the only one :)
So I thought today I'd show you some other ways you can use the back of a door to organize in your home.
