Organizing Nerds

I attended an awesome presentation last night with NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers).  Vendors from companies that sell organizing products came to visit us and unveil some of their new products.  

My fave was the representative from Post-It... and it was pretty hysterical as he brought out each new tab, label, bright sticky pad, and pen because the whole group was oohing and aahhing in delight!  We were laughing together at being such organizing nerds.  

I mean, who freaks out about post-its?!  

Check these out:

This cool envelope also has a mini pocket for a business card.

This clear tab is great for marking a spot in a book- 

You can write a note on it and still see the words underneath.  Pretty nifty!

A pen, a highlighter, and sticky tabs?!  Shut the front door!!

The Tote Buddy

 I first came across Tote Buddy at the NAPO (National Association for Professional Organizers) National Conference last month.  The brother and sister team came up with this eco-friendly and stylish shopping bag that immediately caught my eye. 

The bags are so durable and are kept neatly in the floral or black "folder." So many of my clients struggle with bags that become a cluttered mess!  Now, they can be good to the environment, be stylish, and organized ALL AT THE SAME TIME! 

Check out their website and watch some of their great videos to learn more: www.totebuddy.com

An Organizer's Disneyland

Last week I attended the Organizers' Conference here in (not so) sunny San Diego hosted by NAPO (National Association for Professional Organizers).... and it was like being a kid in a candy store!  I was surrounded by amazing organizing products and hundreds of other people who love label makers and stacking clear boxes just as much as I do.  I learned so much, my head is spinning, and I can't wait to share it all with you!

But right now, I have to put labels on my new file folders.  I promise there will be more to come....
