Today I am chatting about receipt storage! Who's excited?
This one was a quick and easy one for me. I love when organizing is quick and easy! That means more time doing other things that I love!
I was pretty excited when I was scoping out the dollar section at Target and spotted some awesome accordion style envelopes, for you guessed it... $1!!
These babies are typically used for coupons and receipts. For now, I went the receipt route with mine.
Why do I save receipts? All sorts of reasons, budgeting, expense tracking, etc...
The labels that came with this envelope didn't have a built in template for me to create on the computer and print on. And I still have no tape in my label maker {haven't been to the store in days}, so time to put that creative hat back on.
I dug through my scrapbook stickers, looking for some pretty numbers... when I stumbled across some rub-on transfers...
Perfect! I decided to number the tabs 1-12, for each month of the year.
Then, I just whipped up a quick label in Microsoft Word for the front, so that we would always know the contents...
And it was another Project Paper "To Do" checked off the list!
Yes, I popped a new button on the envelope by using boatloads of hot glue on top of the existing button. Because I can't leave well enough alone. Who knows how long it will actually last without falling off?
And the envelope can be portable if I choose, or just pop into our filing bin when not in use!
What do you think? Any other receipt storing solutions out there to share? How is this monthly challenge coming along?
I decided a little challenge would be fun! This month we are getting all those papers in order! Wanna join? Take pictures and blog about your awesomeness as you go! I am hoping to do a giant, "We did it!" celebratory post where we can all link up our paper filing success stories at the end of the month!
