Martha Stewart Home Office

At the end of last year Martha Stewart and Avery announced they would be working together to produce a line of office and home organization products. The line would include over 300 items such as: binders, labels, storage containers, pocket folders, and desk accessories to name a few.

Today I finally got a chance to visit Staples and see the Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery line. I was really impressed and found a lot of things that will definitely help organize some areas of my life more efficiently and beautifully.


Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery line.  
I love how Martha Stewart products are displayed (here at Staples and at Macys, Petsmart, etc. ) all together with attractive signage, colors, and in an organized manner.  Its like a beacon of light in a stormy sea. 

Sticky notes and journals of various sizes, colors, and textures.

More journals and some to-do/good thing note pads. 


Binders and many useful inserts so that you can customize it to fit your specific needs. 

More binder inserts:  dividers, sheet protectors, papers, pouches, and calendars. 

Dry Erase Boards that fit many purposes.  

Wall Pockets

Stack + Fit Desk Accessories 
These stackable storage boxes are my favorite!

Accordion Folders 

Labels galore... Every kind of label you could ever need for all over the home and office. 

...and more labels for more specific needs. 

Also an office desk, file cabinet, and chair.  

I bought a few bags of good things for myself:



This accordion file has already been put to use holding some of my craft gemstone stickers.  

So as you can see there is a bounty of good things from the Martha Stewart Home Office line.  I am sure you can find many things that will help get parts of your home and office organized and make you more efficient.  These types of supplies not only help you get organized (which helps save you time and money) but also are attractive and can be fun as well!

Right now there is a printable coupon on the website as well as all the products and informative videos from Martha.

Keeping busy...

Hello!  I have been so busy lately with working, studying, and exams that I don't have much time to blog.  I also have been busy carving birds! It is a craft I have been doing for a while but actually got serious about doing it 2 years ago.  These wooden birds are modeled off of birds I've see in the wild.  The wild birds serve as inspiration and also creates a memento of the place it was seen.

My newest bird is a Palm Warbler that I saw in Florida when visiting my parents last month.  

Anyway, soon I will be on winter vacation and will have more time to blog!  I hope you are having a nice holiday season and are having fun Christmas decorating and shopping.  Most importantly I hope you have the chance to spend time with your friends and loved ones - because that is what the holidays are all about!

1. Ruby-throated Hummingbird -TX
2. Prothonotary Warbler - Costa Rica
3. Ruby-crowned Kinglet - TX
4. Carolina Chickadee - TX
5. Mourning Dove - TX
6. Ruby-throated Hummingbird - TX
7. Indigo Bunting - VA
8. Carolina Wren - TX
9. Tufted Titmouse - TX
10. Common Ground-Dove - TX
11. - 16. Ruby-crowned Kinglet - TX

The latest ones are the the six Ruby-Crowned Kinglets:

I hope to give these as Christmas gifts to some friends. Maybe I'll make some little red scarves out of ribbon to put around there necks to make them extra cute.
