I'm a bit of an organization freak as well. I won't go so far as to say "neat" freak, but I'm working on it... To add to your idea of the content's card on the outside of the storage bins. I did this for organizing my storage shed and not only did I make a list of the contents of each bin I labeled the bin as well such as "Kitchen" and had bowls, sifters, etc., in there. I made a list and placed the list in the box, but I took it one step further and printed a second sheet and placed it in a binder so that if I'm cooking and needed my sifter, I could go to the binder and find out what bin actually had the sifter in it. This eliminated the need for looking through 3-4 Kitchen bins to find the item I needed. I hope this helps anyone else looking to adopt this idea from your blog.Adrienne619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-67726544016136781712012-01-31T23:14:00.005-06:002012-01-31T23:14:00.005-06:00Oh, I don't remember exactly which one it was,...Oh, I don't remember exactly which one it was, I think it was one of the ones I found here: <br /><br />http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/<br /><br />xoxo!<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-52872043206285244662012-01-31T23:13:37.808-06:002012-01-31T23:13:37.808-06:00Oh, I don't remember exactly which one it was,...Oh, I don't remember exactly which one it was, I think it was one of the ones I found here: <br /><br />http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/<br /><br />xoxo!<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-62103720096506000202012-01-13T07:40:03.499-06:002012-01-13T07:40:03.499-06:00Here is an idea I wrote about on what to do with C...Here is an idea I wrote about on what to do with Christmas cards ... <br />http://morethana-mom.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-to-do-with-christmas-cards-after.htmlElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059167889199212943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-3778914283090559922012-01-12T10:22:37.878-06:002012-01-12T10:22:37.878-06:00Had no idea IKEA HAD bags!

We use them for many seasonal decorations and out of season clothing as well as many things we probably need to go through and donate! I love your list idea but I don't think I have the patience to implement that on our many bins. I also find that even labels stuck to the side get damaged and fall off. I started using a sharpie to neatly draw a number on all 4 sides of each bin. Then I keep an excel spreadsheet of contents for each bin. It has a column for occasion, bin description (large purple bin, etc.), and can contain a very detailed list of contents and other relevant notes. I will use this to note bins that need to be organized better or purged too. It is great because the number is on all sides and will never come off and never needs to be changed. I can sort the list by holiday or number (for easy lookup) and I can always have a copy down in the basement. I can search on the computer for a very specific item with ease! I love it! Thanks for all of your amazing ideas!

Very thick plastic and large enough for things like this (although the dimensions are closer to square than rectangle).<br /><br />Our biggest organizational achievement this post-Christmas was bagging up anything that didn't work in our new home – like if it required shelf space that we no longer have, or we just owned because it was given to us by someone else years ago trying to unload Christmas gear – and took it to the Goodwill. The next few Christmas' are mainly going to be decorated by crafts made every year, as we have small children.mrs.strongarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773999408626467751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-44736868426602591172012-01-04T09:38:42.471-06:002012-01-04T09:38:42.471-06:00Loooove the idea of putting the ornaments in ziplo...Loooove the idea of putting the ornaments in ziploc bags!
