Nov 7, 2008, Staying Organized

Why didn't I get one of these sooner?

I'm in love with my P-touch labeler from Brother and my immediate thought was how helpful it would be to keep wedding stuff organized and how cool it would be to use one to label favors or even addresses on invites.

My "organization" method generally consists of piles of stuff, but I'm turning over a new leaf complete with nicely labeled folders and storage boxes!

How do you stay organized while wedding planning? Contact me and let me know your ideas to possibly be included in my next newsletter!
