Photo Organizing in my own home is a routine project that I attack quarterly. Each time a new season rolls around I spend one-half day photo organizing which includes sorting, purging, labeling (naming) and storing my new digital photographs and prints. Read on down the page for 5 photo organizing tips I’ve come to understand over the years. But before you get to these tips, I’ve got great news for you.

Because I love to learn how to better organize anything & everything I recently attended an exceptional training session titled “Best Strategies and Practices for Photo Organizing and Storage”. I then spent a few days researching online. With the info I gleaned from my training course and the research I did additionally, I have created a very reasonably priced printable product (ONLY $10), my Photo Organizing Mastery Set, that comes immediately to your email inbox in PDF document form for immediate storage or printing. (READ ON to learn about the “get it right” guarantee we offer you on ALL our Professional Organizer Insider Secrets Info Packets AND to see what this great photo organizing kit includes.)

We all know that a garage recycling center is a useful idea. However, most garages do not have an actual organizing system in place to make recycling easily doable. MarthaStewart.com has a good idea and offers some nice recycle container stickers to make the job look good. She reminds us that recycling may save the planet — but it ruins the corner of your kitchen or garage until collection day. An easy-to-make garage recycling center can help you set a workable system in place.

   My Get Organized ACT+SPARK formula is once again so helpful. A month ago I did a little Analyzing and decided to bottle salsa with my home grown celebrity and sun sugar tomatoes picked from my backyard garden. The salsa recipe came from my sister, Kristi. She collected it from a Minnesota friend of hers. It really is the MOST delicious salsa I have tasted. Kristi shared onions and peppers from her garden so all I had to purchase was a can of green chilies and a few other pepper types.
