Each section is a year of photos of their birthdays, Christmas, Easter etc. When they leave the nest, they will take their baby books, their school albums and a Power Sort box full of organized memories! I couldn't complete albums for all those precious memories but I did save them. $35 is a small price to pay for that. I have a Power Sort box for each of my 3 children.

I am a long-time scrapbooker and Organization has always been one of my downfalls and expenses! I always had trouble keeping things in order and would end up purchasing doubles on accident. Finally I got organized and the product that worked for me was Tote Trac. I am always running short on space, and this uses the ceiling of my garage and closets! They come with a nice labeling system so i know what is in each tote. Check them out at www.totetrac.com. I like them a lot and definitely recommend the brand! It cost me only $20 to get organized!

Another thing I do is sort my stickers by holiday/month. Birthdays go in November since that is when my daughter's birthday is. Summer stuff goes in the middle, around the patriotic stuff for July 4th, and Halloween is before Thanksgiving. School stickers go after the summer stickers. This has made it much easier for me to utilize my stickers and know what I have. I do the same with my papers in that they are organized by holiday, and then by color. I sort as I buy - sometimes you just need to buy more stuff :)! - and this makes it effortless. I also use the CM photo sort. 2400 pictures is 100 rolls of film!
