More Decorated File Folders

I spent yesterday afternoon decorating more file folders. I find this a fun thing to do when it’s too hot to get outside and enjoy the yard.

It’s sort of like gardening. After awhile, you just lose yourself in creating and embellishing what’s at hand.

Then all go into my little red dish drainer next to my computer so I’ll have my files ready.

So if you need some file folders and want something besides plain manilla, get out your paper scraps and have some fun. Pick up a dish drainer you like from Walmart or Target. Or even get a more antique-looking one at the antique mall. And you’ll have necessary files right at your fingertips.
