Mail Mayhem!

Mail.

Uhhh, how I despise it.
(Unless it's my precious home decorating magazines, of course.)

Every day Grady walks in with a stack of envelopes and tosses it on the kitchen table.
UHH!
I cringe at the thought of it!

It piles, and piles, and piles until I simply can't stand it any longer . . . and stack it somewhere else . . . hidden away . . . where no one can find it. And, eventually it might get filed.

Yes, I'll admit, we may have failed to pay a few bills on time because of this (one of which could have possibly been our internet bill, which in turn caused our internet to be cut off for the last week . . . maybe . . . ).

So, I have been bound and determined to find a solution to this MAYHEM!


And I bought this . . .


. . . which after a quick coat of paint became my solution.
Doesn't look like much, but it has saved my sanity.

Top: mail to be sent.
Bottom: mail to be filed.


Ahh . . . the relief.

You are too funny! This is why you need to go paperless and pay all your bills online! :)

I am so glad I am not the only one who stashes mail places to get it out of sight!! I think I am going to have to borrow your idea...

Mail is the never-ending pain in my a.... Although most of the time I put it in File Cabinet 13 - the trash can!
