Fun with envelopes

I hope you all had a great weekend! I was able to enjoy the beautiful weather and relax, maybe too much, because I finally finished my taxes. I've been procrastinating it until the beginning of this month, and it was not fun going through all the receipts and calculating inventory. I spent many many hours crunching numbers in Excel and setting up spreadsheets for the next year's taxes. Oh yeah, I'm totally ready for the next one.

Right.. Anyway, doing the taxes got me in the organizing mood, and this is what I did over the weekend:

Envelopes + cork board!
The board was starting to look too cluttered, and my desk was getting messy with random notes I jotted down on small pieces of paper. Apparently, I take that after my dad. I recently found this out from my mom. She said it drives her nuts that he leaves pieces of paper everywhere. Heh.


Pretty borders on the flaps with edge punches from Martha Stewart + printed labels. Love it. I'm thoroughly enjoying these and also finding them very useful.
The idea of using envelopes came about after seeing this envelope book by Derek and Lauren of Curiosity Shoppe. It's so simple. Why didn't I think of this before? Maybe many people out there do the same thing already. I feel so.. behind. ^_^;;
