This past weekend, I was able to escape the cold weather of the Midwest for sunny California. And while packing, I was reminded of my favorite C-Line product for traveling and wanted to share it with you – poly zip bags!

Putting items in poly zip bags also allows me to begin packing ahead of time, saving a rush right before the taxi arrives.

The web is great, but sometimes it is just easier to look at an old-fashioned catalog when you are looking for something.  Well, C-Line has added a new e-catalog to the c-lineproducts.com website I would call a new-fashioned catalog.  This new C-Line catalog is a combination catalog, flash animation and pdf file maker, and it has some really neat features.

The state of the economy today is not pretty and not one we wished for, but we do have to deal with it. As businesses and organizations are beginning to cut back, they are also looking for bargain on items they are currently using.

Do you need name badge holders for the upcoming shareholder’s meeting, member convention or annual Board of Directors conference?  Instead of purchasing the badges in boxes of 50, which they typically are packaged in, think about purchasing the clip name badge holder in the 96 count box.  When you compare the prices,  the purchase of larger count box saves you over 8%.

This past weekend, what did you do? Well, I spent my two days away from the office sifting through piles and years of recipes. Yes, it took that long to come up with the perfect mix of appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts to host the ultimate Thanksgiving!

Once I had all my recipes compiled, I placed them all into biodegradable sheet protectors. These holders not only keep all my Thanksgiving Day recipes in one place, but also protect them from the splatters, spills and splashes of ingredients that will no doubt happen in my frenzied kitchen this Wednesday and Thursday.

With your desk drawers organized, let’s turn our attention to the “walls” as a means to organize your office.  There are several ways to utilize the vertical space in your office, home, or cubicle to make your workspace more efficient.

1. If you have a fabric wall or board, use this to hang ongoing projects, schedules, and tasks. For instance, I am currently working on color combinations for new products. So on my board, I have paper swatches pinned up. This way, I am able to change them daily and see which color combinations work best together. Next to the swatches is a current listing of new products, so that I always have a reminder of what I need to strive for. Since I access the list daily, it is kept in a Cubicle Keeper, allowing for quick, easy changes when needed.

This past summer, I got married with a destination wedding to La Quinta, California. And although there were only 12 people in attendance, there was still a lot to coordinate, plan and keep track of. Everything went as scheduled and it was all because I was organized!

To help me keep straight all the various contracts, event orders, vendors and ideas, I used an Expanding File With Handles. This was the perfect organizational tool to keep different vendors’ information separate, but still be accessible in one convenient place. Also, the chic black exterior and handles meant I could carry everything I needed to all appointments and still look stylish, a very important factor for a bride-to-be.
