Make Your Own Labels

So I haven't been the best blogger.  I have several in progress posts that just aren't getting done for one reason or another.  That is what summer is for right? Blogging more is on my summer to-do list, aka the List that Never Ends and Just Gets Longer and Longer.  I am making progress though!

Another thing on my to-do list is to get more organized in my home office.  Last year I pulled three large tubs out of my extra closet to find them filled with office supplies. I vowed not to buy office supplies any time soon because I obviously had plenty.  True to teacher style more post-its made their way into my cart a couple days later.  I'm a teacher. You can never have too many post-its.  My three gigantic tubs got whittled down into various areas, but most ended up in a twenty tray organizer that I had originally bought for my classroom.  Today I went through and made another box of supplies to go to my classroom and combined some trays.  I now have several empty trays which means I can go buy some new goodies!! That's what that means right??

Well I put post-its on there to show what was in each drawer, but they kept falling off and they looked horrible.

I found this tutorial on Pinterest for making backgrounds and tags. I am in love.  I can now make cute tags for my home and classroom.  You can bet I'm about to go crazy. Here is the finished product of the tags.  It is super simple.

All it took was some scissors and some packing tape and here is the much nicer looking tray (if you ignore the giant filing box on top).
