See Jane Work Giveaway

**This giveaway has ended.**

See Jane Work has very generously sent me a few of their items to offer as a giveway! See Jane Work offers a variety of stylish office and organization supplies. I found See Jane Work's website a couple of years ago and just fell for all their offerings. My first visit to their website, I literally spent 2 hours browsing!

Before I show you the little goodies they have put together, let's just take a look at some of the great home office and/or outside office items they carry.

I love initial and monogram items.

Initial paperweight

I could have used these clips this past week. Every time a holiday falls on a Monday, I am all messed up for the rest of the week.

Day of the week clips

These colors would blend perfectly with many of the offices I've been seeing lately here in blogland.

Letterbox file

Who couldn't use an extra day?

8-day planner

Very pretty and could work in just about any office.

Letter holder & tray

Here is the very nicely put together giveaway they sent on. I am taking everything out of the ribbon {don't worry, I'll put it back} to take a picture for you. This giveaway includes:





Deco Mouse Pad

Fashion Color Pencils & Erase Eraser

All Out Of office pad

Home Office Organizing

With so many people working from home now (sometimes in addition to working outside the home), or even if they are telecommuting, home offices need to have dedicated spaces and organization to keep paperwork and any other work-related items neat, tidy and easy to find. In my quest for keeping things neat, I came across some items that help reach that goal.

Some say that a cluttered desk is the indicator of an organized mind. In my case, a cluttered desk is - well, a cluttered desk. I like to have everything in its place and not causing me any distractions.



I have two of these wire trays. The one I utilize for filing allows me to see the filing, so it doesn't get too out of hand.




Seeing the color of these trays, and some of the accessories that go with them, makes me glad that I'm thinking of this color combo for whatever new home office space I have when we move.




Rather than ripping pages out of magazines, flagging them might keep things neater around the office.





These might be better than the solid canvas magazine holders I bought last year, because with these I'd be able to see what catalogs are in what holder.




I've always liked these boxes, but am never sure what to keep in them. Stationery, envelopes, stamps, brochures, papers you might not need on a daily basis.

I love these decorative file folders, but find that I like folders that are a bit more practical for use with client projects. I like to have project folders that allow me to write the client name, phone, address, what the project is, contact information for vendors or resources and tracking what's been ordered/received. I might be able to adapt something like this if I just make up a sheet on the computer and attach it to the inside front of the folder.

These are just a few items that caught my eye. I would recommend you visit the website (I put in a link below) and see for yourself the variety of items available for organizing yourself and your home office.

Getting Organized

I recently came across this website called See Jane Work, which has some great items for organizing your home or office (or both!). From agendas and calendars to desktop items to storage and organization, this site has it all and with decorative style.

Beware: You could spend hours looking through all their items! If you start now, you can be on your way to a fashionably organized and clutter-free home or office by the end of the month.
