Sometimes the most simple projects take a little bit of time. But, what can I expect, with an active two and a half year old and a nursing three month old. I think this is probably the quickest project I've completed after finding it on Pinterest, but since we got the registration renewed on the car yesterday the state of paperwork in the glove box was at the top of my mind.
This car documents folder by
Elementary Organization
had been pinned by one of the people I follow. First I started by
creating my list of documents, but I didn't feel like digging out the
documents in the middle of the night. I knew I had some of the folders
laying around, and I came across them as my husband I and worked to
clean out the office, making this a FREE project. Yesterday after I got
the girls down for a nap I emptied out my glove box, took my draft
document list, and sat down to sort through the paperwork. I made a
number of changes based on what I had and the order I wanted stuff in. When my husband got home he brought me everything in his glove box. Then the girls were up and I was off to try to corral them, at least a
little bit.
This morning I was finally able to finish up the project. I
printed revised lists, changed found some matting paper, and attached
the "table of contents" to the folder using packing tape. Finally, I
added the stickers to the tabs and using my matching Sharpies to write
the numbers (I would suggest writing on the stickers before putting them
onto the tabs).
The final step to this project is going through the extra stuff that was in my husbands glove box. It's amazing how much more stuff he had in his than I had in mine, but considering that we've had that car for two more years which included two moves and a extended road trip, it really isn't surprising.
Next I hope to make another folder like this to corral the paperwork that comes from a military move.
