POWERshredding
A good shredder is your best friend. That was one of the themes of the organization class I took with Jill and Collette. I was excited to come home and put our shredder to good use. It was free to us- a door buster on the day after Thanksgiving sale, I think. That meant it was cheap but does that really matter?Apparently, it does! Kelly cleaned out all of his files, getting things back to a manageable "one year" worth of records. He gave the kids a HUGE bag full of papers to shred but not even a quarter of the way through, our shredder jammed and overheated. It is SO totally broken! So, today, Kelly went and got a new shredder. I told him the advice I heard in class: it should cost at least $50 (he got an $80 shredder for $50) and it should shred 12 pages at a time (he got one that does 16 and credit cards!). In addition, it has an easy to empty basket and a child-resistant switch! Now we can get back to business and empty that bag of papers! I think this shredder is going to be a really great friend!

I've been wanting a shredder for years. I hope yours does truly turn out to be a great friend!
Let the fun begin. You know wht you can also do with your shredder? Shred paper to fill up empty spaces in packing boxes. Any color you want!
Did you ever think you could get so excited about something like that? I set our shredder up in the laundry now and put our junk mail in their immediately. It's a joy.
I never thought I'd feel envy about a shredder, but I kinda am. Especially since reading about Jill shredding junk mail immediately.
Shredding colored paper for package stuffing... PURE GENIUS! That Amy has my vote. As for junk mail, I am fortunate to be a newlywed and those pesky advertisers have yet to find me. Hallelujah! I hope all your hopes and dreams for this new found friend are fulfilled.
I absolutely LOVE my shredder! It empowers me. No way any thief is going to steal away my identity!
