The Post-It Label Pad - A must have in your supply box
We just love it here... we feel at home!
For some reason though, I am still struggling with getting various spaces organized (yes, organizers struggle with getting organized too). The kitchen is especially my biggest challenge.
I have moved my pots and pans probably three times in the last six months, and I still can't quit find the right spot for them. I have sorted, downsized and even gotten rid of a few items I don't use and yet I still struggle. It drives my husband crazy that I keep moving things around... especially when he is unloading the dishwasher and all the pans have moved... again!
About a month ago, I ran across an ad in a magazine (but it might have been a commercial I saw... I don't remember) for the Post-It Removable Label Pads. Either way, when I saw the product I knew that I had to try it... it was calling my name! It was a little hard to find at first as it's a brand new product. They apparently are stocked at the big box stores, but I ordered online.
I purchased the 525 assorted pack. All sizes and shapes (and colors) came in the pack and I was really excited to see if I can put these to good use as I am still finding homes for all my stuff (especially in the kitchen). You can use them to label food containers, snack bins, file folders, storage items, boxes in the garage... the possibilities are endless!
The pad functions just like a regular post-it pad, but in a reverse format to a standard post-it pad. The entire surface area is now sticky, with a small non-sticky area perforated so that you can remove each sheet, tear off the perforation for placement. How often have you used just the sticky part of a post-it to create your own "removable" label? No more!
Post-it does it once again... I can't wait to get up into the kids playroom with the bright orange labels!

OH MY WORD - happiness is....
I'm such a lover of post-its, Megan, and have used them as labels forever (you'll see it all over my blog) - I wonder when they'll be available in South Africa....
Wow, Megan - can't believe it's been a year already. I love that it feels like a holiday for you still
I think I new that... your love for post-its! They are still really new here... there is always online shopping. Since moving farther away from the city, I find myself shopping online a lot... I am loving the babies pictures... on occasion, I find myself thinking I want another!
