"On Your Way Up Basket" + Clean Mama Printables GIVEAWAY

Organization Tips· Organizational Tips--Clean Mama

**This giveaway is now CLOSED**

Happy Thursday, Idea Room readers!  It’s Becky from the Clean Mama Blog and it’s time for another organizational tip and a giveaway too!
For me, organization and simplification go together.  If I spend the time to organize an area, that organization should simplify my life.  Today’s organizational tip is simple and  it can be tailored to work in your home and with your family.  Instead of having a stack of things on the steps, I set out to find a container to keep on the steps as an “on your way up basket”.
this basket is what got me thinking

I lined up a variety of baskets and containers on my steps to see what worked
finally, I decided on this magazine basket
I love to make things a little bit simpler, so I made a couple labels to go with the basket – I glued them together and laminated them so anyone that sees the basket knows to either bring it up or down

Want to make a “on your way up basket” too?  Here are three different types of labels for the container you make.  Go here to get the printable.
and now for the giveaway!
Today I’d love for you to peek at my Clean Mama Printables Etsy shop – it’s full of printables designed to MAKE LIFE EASIER.  I’ve thought out organizational processes like cleaning and bill paying and designed cute and highly functional printable tools to make cleaning and organizing fun and easy. 
Want a chance to win a $50 shop credit?  Go peek at my shop and come back here and tell me in the comments which printable or kit you could use the most.  Amy will announce the winner on Wednesday, March 9th.
Can’t wait to see if you won?  Use the code 20IDEAROOM for 20% off your entire order through Wednesday, March 9th.

    Great idea, but it sorta looks like your basket is going to fall off the stairs…

    I love more than one but since I was paying bills today, the bills sheets would be great to have.

    I'm sure I could benefit from ALL of your kits…they're great!…But the one I could use the most right now is the kitchen label kit. This would help me at the moment as I am in the process of reorganizing my pantry. :)

    There is so much to like! I was drawn to the To-Do kit though. I am nowhere without my to-do list!

    I love them all really! But since I'm new to blogging, the blogging kit looks very useful and the cleaning ones would always be useful. Thanks for the opportunity.

    What a great idea!
    I'm really glad my mom never thought of that… it wouldn't be as easy to 'forget' things!
