So what does a professional organizer do for fun? 
Well for this organizer, this weekend it was getting 'Crafty' with construction paper. 

Not my usual fair, yet there is a cute little girl that I know that has a bunch of artwork, and I had an idea on how to make a fun place for her to store it.

Wan't to get crafty and try this out too?
It could be a great way to spend quality time with the kids. Allow them a chance to get crafty and help decorate it. And, as you put it together they can sort their artwork and maybe decide to let go a few of their less favorite pieces. Narrowing down their collection to the ‘Best of the Best’ will help ease clutter and leave you all with their best works to praise over and over again.
  
 Here's all that I used to make this one:
  * 4 large sheets of construction paper
     (Cost: $4.00 at my favorite local Dollar Store)
  * Scissors & Tape
  * White glue
  * Ribbon for frills
  * A little imagination
 
Tips: You don't have to stop with one. At approximately $1 per sheet, you can make many more and not break the bank. For example you can make one for each school year, and for each child (if you have multiple children). You can even create one to hold more craft paper for future works.
Safety Tip: Remember to watch when using a stapler that you tape the seam up to prevent any snags on clothing or little fingers. Ouch!

More Important Tip: Have Fun!

& if you want to share your creation afterwards, I would be thrilled to see them and post them to my blog and perhaps newsletter. I relish the thought of getting to see just how creative my readers are!
