xmas wrapping tip and whatnot

this post is going up super late on a sunday because i got back from las vegas earlier this afternoon. a last-minute trip out of town ended up being quite the experience. the beau's mom put us up at the wynn and scored tix to Cher last night (uh-mazing). anyhow, on to organizing.

• i was reading through an old Real Simple magazine and spotted this tip which is a great solution if you've ever mixed up holiday gifts. "i wrap my holiday gifts in groups by paper: silver for my sister, gold for my brother, and red for my in-laws. i know exactly what to grab when we're heading out." --Jacqui Cooley
• on a side note (related to organizing) my apartment therapy post that i wrote last week about scoring free boxes when moving got picked up by lifehacker (rock steady).

Apartment Therapy; Los Angeles

Wow. It’s been a busy 2008. We’ve traveled quite a bit, helped a bunch of clients get their lives (and paperwork) organized and just secured our first business loan! Whoo hoo. Oh--and we’ve also been freelance blogging for Apartment Therapy for almost 2 months now (such a challenging job but oh, so rewarding!).
The mission of Apartment Therapy is “Helping people make their homes more beautiful, organized and healthy by connecting them to a wealth of resources, ideas and community online.” While I do write about what I think is cool and well designed I love to write about organizing. Whether I’m blogging about an antique mail caddy that has been turned into a shoe organizer or I talk about the 3 best organizing tips that i tell my clients--it’s all in the name of organizing. You can click here to read all of my previous posts on apartment therapy; Los Angeles that relate to organizing and be sure to check back often for more great tips and tricks to help you reach your organizing goals.
