Cookbooks and a New Toy

I was just visiting The Twins Momma and saw her terrific pantry. Go by for a visit to her great blog. I had to also purge a lot of cookbooks when I moved and looking at this pic, I need to purge some more. Dear Daughter may be gifted with a few when she comes for a visit this weekend. :) When our kitchen was rebuilt last year after a fire, I had the carpenter just leave off the doors under the counter. I love it for the easy access. DH would rather NOT see them, but doesn't dare complain loudly since it does help get dinner on the table. I had an organization epiphany here. Yes....trumpets are playing in the background! I had so many small books and pieces of paper with recipes just scattered about and then it hit me....DVD storage containers.I think I found these at Target, but any style is out there to fit your decor. They are the perfect size to hold all this misc. stuff and easy to lift out to sort through when needed. These are so perfect and I know I may be using this idea in several other places around the house eventually.
Last night was just one of those nights...mornings, actually, when I just couldn't get the old mind to shut up!! I had a new toy and just had to play with it right then. I had been lurking perusing Kari & Kijsa's blog about using Christmas cards for tags. Great idea and boy, do I have cards! I just grabbed the current ones and started punching. OK, now what!!?? I have a table full of tags and what will I do with them now? This could be a crisis in the making! I see a future of tags everywhere. The idea is to be getting rid of stuff and here it is...multiplying before my eyes. I hope you can sense the bit of panic going on here.
I quit this foolishness around 2:30 a.m. before it really got out of hand. Give me some ideas what to do with these now. Any ideas will be so welcome.
Back to organizing some more stuff.....Y'all come back, ya hear?
