Staying Organized with Sharpie

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Sharpie, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia  #StaplesBTS

Does the word “organization” make you cringe?  It can be a little overwhelming.  I don’t think I’ll ever master it, but I can sure try! I’m the first to admit that I often have piles of “stuff” scatted around my house.  Between crafting supplies, blogging projects and an Etsy shop, I have a lot to keep organized.  I recently decided it was time to tackle what I could.

Staying organized with Sharpie as I attempt to organize some of my shipping and craft supplies with sharpie markers, storage containers and binder labels!! More details at livelaughrowe.com

Supplies:

Computer made labels
Cardstock
Sharpie Markers
Scissors or Paper Cutter
Self Adhesive Binder Labels
Storage Container of Choice

Let me first say that I did attempt to just write my tags, but the perfectionist in me said it was unacceptable.  Ha!  So I decided to type up some labels using the outline of a font that I did in Adobe.  After typing them up, it was time to print and color.  I used my handy dandy Sharpie markers (of course) — in ultra fine and fine tips.

Staying Organized with SharpieI just love to color — even as a 40 year old.  So, this was therapeutic for me {smile}.

Staying Organized with Sharpie

Once I colored in my labels, it was time to cut.

Staying Organized with SharpieEeeks!  Now I’m ready to put them to use.  I had a three drawer roller cart that wasn’t being used, so I started there.  While I have a fabulous shipping station, I still have a lot of supplies on-hand.  I took the extra shipping envelopes, kraft bags and bubble wrap that were lying around and placed them in the drawers.  I then attached the self adhesive label holder and slid the label in.

Staying Organized with SharpieAnd in no time — a few piles were diminished and I felt like I had conquered the world finally had a few of the piles under control.  While you’re only seeing these three drawers — there are plenty of other storage containers waiting to be organized and labeled as well!

Staying Organized with SharpieI’m excited to finish up the project — and I couldn’t be happier that my Sharpies added a little fun and a pop of color!  I love the labels — who would’ve thought that binder label holders could come in so handy?!?

I picked up my Sharpies at Staples — and guess what?   All Sharpie Fine and Ultra Fine assortment packs and Sharpie Neon Marker packs are currently on sale through August 24th, “while supplies last”.  Boom!  You might want to head that way and stock up!  You can totally shop at Staples for all of your Sharpie product back to school, organization, or gift giving needs!  Can one have too many Sharpies?  I don’t think so!

Oooh!  Before you go — I thought it would be fun to share an ode to Sharpie in the form of a fun printable.  It’s also a great back to school reminder!  Stay Sharp, friends. {wink}

Stay Sharp! Back to School Reminder.Stay Sharp Printable.

If you like to color, I thought I would leave this one with the text outlined — color or doodle the letters with your sharpies!
