Last week I introduced you to Avery’s Organization of Moms. Today, they’ve asked me to share my own organizing tip, submitting it to their Tip It Forward contest. They sent me some of their note tabs and I think they are my new best friends. There are so many great places to put these on, my favorite being recipe books!
Are your recipe books and magazines filled with dog eared pages? Mine are. My Everyday Food magazines are littered with them, as it’s one of my favorite food magazines. They have great recipes. Doesn’t this Artichoke Parmesan Crostini look divine? It is, I’ve made it, as it’s dog eared!
I’m using my note tabs to place on each recipe, making it easier to find again. These are repositionable so they can move to the top or the side of the page. They are clear so you can see the words underneath. And you can write on the top of the tab to label what recipe it is. I couldn’t love these more. They’ll probably be your new best friends too, I’ll share them with you!
Now my recipe books are labeled and tabbed. This will save me loads of time making for a quick easy find., instead of trying to flip through my dog eared pages.
– Avery sent me some of their products to blog about, as well as compensation. But any time saving tips are my own ideas. -

Those ARE awesome!!! A million different uses!!! How can we get some for ourselves?????
These are cool! I’ll have to consider them for my own use. Not sure I had ever seen them before…and I have a lot of recipe magazines. Thanks.
Love this idea!! What are the name/avery number for these? I’ve only seen the smaller tabs, not these longer ones. Thanks!
awesome idea! I have such a hard time with my everyday food mags b/c I have to search through all of them to find that one recipe I was thinking about… I am so going to do this. Thanks for the great tip!!

I need those little tabs!
Great idea to use the brightly colored note tabs!
I used to dog-ear all of my favorite recipes until I discovered the recipe index in the front or back of most cooking magazines. Now I just put a little mark beside the ones I want to try. It saves me so much time because I can just glance at the index rather than flipping through my dog-ears.
That’s an great idea!
What I like to do with my magazines when I’m ready to get rid of them is carefully pull out favorite recipes or craft ideas or whatever I want to keep and put the pages in sheet protectors and then put the pages in a 3 ring binder and then I throw away the magazine. It helps me keep things organized and less clutter. My husband also does this with all of his car/truck and tool magazines. :)
