Hey there! I’m Jessica from The Mom Creative. Sweet Kristen asked me to host WFMW today while her family is mourning the loss of her sister-in-law. I’m praying for peace for her family and hoping this little post helps to keep things a bit “normal” here on We Are That Family.
On The Mom Creative, I write about cultivating a life well-crafted through memory keeping, frugal living, crafting, family and faith.
This fall, I started getting REALLY sick of the receipts cluttering up my purse. It seemed like they were always everywhere.
So for Christmas I asked my husband Matthew for a cute Gussy Sews zipped pouch to corral those renegade receipts.
And ever since I received it (two weeks early because Matthew didn’t hide the Gussy envelope and I had to have it the day it came), I have been so happy every time I opened my purse.
No more receipts everywhere.
No more looking for a receipt that I can’t find.
Just an organized purse with receipts in one cute pouch. YEOW!
I also love getting it out when I am checking out. As soon as I get my receipt, I stick it right in there. About once a week a clean it out, toss the receipts that I don’t need, file what I do need, and keep a few in there that I might need for a return.
My receipt pouch works for me!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
What a great idea – I have tons of receipts floating around my purse also – and I use little bags for everything else – why didn’t I think about one for the receipts?
So sorry to hear of your loss!
Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Prayers for peace for your family.
Jessica – I love your super cute receipt pouch! What a great way to corral all those receipts that end up all over the place.
Kristen – So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Kristen, I am so sorry for you loss. I will be praying for your whole family during this difficult time.
I love that purse! I totally keep all my receipts! Usually until all the ink wears off! I’m such a pack rat!!!
Jess – what a great idea!! I just jam them in my wallet until it won’t close and I start dreaming out. #fail. lol Love your idea of a weekly purging and keeping what you need for receipts.
Would LOVE to see how you handle “paper clutter.” I’ve been overrun by it!
Kristen, praying for your family.
*freaking out (not “dreaming out,” dang AutoCorrect!!)
