The Best Laminated Cash Envelopes and Wallets For Your Cash System

The Best Laminated Cash Envelopes and Wallets

 Have you discovered the cash envelope system yet for budgeting and getting out of debt?
There are many options out there and it's hard to decide which one is best for you.  So, I'm here to show you my own proven system that I make using the heat lamination process but I take it up a huge notch.  Bam!!!

When you purchase laminated envelopes from shops on the internet you will only be getting ones that are laminated on the outside.  Mine are laminated on both sides.  Plus, I hand stitch them closed so they can not ever come apart unless you rip them open yourself. 

Learn how I took a simple product and made it a top seller on Etsy.  >>> Grab my secret here! <<<

Mine do cost more than the other brands and for good reason.  They are made better.  I offer two types.  Ones with a snap so they are like a wallet.  Ones that are open like a pouch for easy access to put in your wallet.

I also make planner envelopes and cash envelopes from acid free designer card stock.  What makes mine better?  I hand stitch them like I do the laminated ones.  

My amazing 5 star reviews speak for the quality of these hand stitched cash envelopes and wallets.

That's not all.  I also use fabric and laminate it as well and sew it just like I do the card stock type of wallets and envelopes.  You will never have to worry about it getting dirty.  Just don't get it soaking wet.  

So, decide for yourself.  Try out my laminated cash envelopes and wallets made from card stock or fabric and let me know what you think.

I dare you to compare!!!

Home Storage Solutions - Clutter 101 Organization

Home Storage Solutions 101 - Clutter and Organization

How do you solve the clutter on the kitchen counters and get things more organized?  

Welcome to Markets Of Sunshine your place for organization tips.

Today I'm going to share with you how you can be the Queen of your Castle, aka lady of the house.




You are the one who runs your home.  So you don't need anyone's permission on keeping it clean and tidy.  That is your sole responsibility.  So if you are asking your family questions like this...

  • Would you rather have a meal tonight or the house cleaned?
  • Do you like the home tidy or messy?

in the end you are just saying: "I don't want to do this".
 


But, the reality is a clean home does more than just look good for unexpected company.  A clean home and a tidy room helps you mentally.  The brain is constantly processing everything we see around us.  If things are tidy the brain quickly says moving on... If things are messy the brain says clean this room now!

When you keep putting off organizing a room you're are making yourself depressed and stressed.
So stop blaming others for how you feel or think.  You are doing it to yourself if you live in a messy home. (I"m not talking clinical depression)

I put this to the test myself.  When my clothes start to stack up on the chair in my room I get moody and gloomy.  But, when I put my clothes away I wake up feeling happy and motivated to clean another room.

That's why I challenged myself to do this #2019OrganizingChallenge in the first place.  I was moody and gloomy most of the time and didn't have a good reason why.  I started reading articles about being depressed and come to find out a messy home gives us stress.

So, I took responsibility for my actions and made a commitment to myself.  Room by room I am getting my house in order and it's feels Great!!

Even though I am working on my home office aka craft room this month the kitchen is constantly a sore subject with me.  I wash the dishes by hand because I chose not to have a dishwasher for health reasons.

The countertops are a glorified stuff collector.  Giggle!  I decided this week I am going to conquer them once and for all and share with you how I go about it.  Maybe it will give you some inspiration to tackle your kitchen clutter too.


The kitchen is one of the most used spaces in our homes.  It's not called the heart of the home for no reason.  It's the place we go to fuel our bodies morning, noon and night.  It's the place that houses all the things that make us feel good on the inside.  

From that first cup of coffee, tea or water to the last meal of the day it's the place that needs to look it's best so we feel our best.  


Let's pretend that you already know the basics of life.  Just in case you don't here's a short recap.
  • You are what you eat
  • Cleanliness is next to Godliness
  • Wash your hands before and after you eat
  • Cook foods to the right temperature
  • Healthy choices are the best for good health
  • Processed foods are not healthy choices
  • Go to bed before 10 p.m. and get 7 to 9 hours of sleep
  • Drink 8 glasses of water a day
 Moving on...

  1.  Start by opening up your cabinet doors so you can see what's inside all of them at once.
  2.  Now quickly take out things that you only use once or twice a year and move them to the back of the cabinet or put them in another closet if possible.
  3. Empty one shelf and put all the clutter on the counters on that shelf.
 It's that easy to quickly end the clutter on the counters and save you some stress in the long run.

Now get up and go do this right now before you talk yourself out of it again or make up some other reason why you can't get this done today.

Leave me a comment below or send me an email and let me know if this motivated you to stop making excuses and start making solutions to the clutter in your home.

If you'd like to take part in this organizing challenge with me and my friends just sign-up here and you'll receive my 12 month worksheet delivered to your inbox in two shakes of some Florida sunshine.
See you next week.  Same place.  Same topic.  All the information is my personal viewpoint on the topic.  It's meant for motivation only.

Home Storage Solutions - Organized Entryway

                Entryway Storage Solutions - Organized Home

 Where do you go to find storage solutions for your home?

You could just use Google or Pinterest to search for ideas to spruce up your entryway this year.

The first thing you need to do before you even start a search is decide what style you are doing your makeover in so that you don't have a ugly end result.

I am the type that likes to sit down with a few home decor magazines and browse the pages until I find the style that fits my personality.

I have had 28 years of country decor in my entire home.  Each room has a different flooring color.  Even the paint color is different in every room too.

I finally found my style while searching through a magazine called Lakeside Collection.  I didn't purchase anything from them but headed over to Kohl's and used my account with them to get a huge savings.

I used my Ebates (use my referral link) cash back site and my 20% off coupon from Kohl's.  I also earned $90 cash back on my purchase.  That was just the things I needed for my entryway and living room storage solutions.

If you join my #2019organizingchallenge you'll find out what my new style is going to be for my entire home.  Each room is getting a makeover from top to bottom.  Well not the flooring.

The second thing you'll need to do is get rid of what's old to make room for the new storage furniture.  I'm taking out the table in my entryway to make room for a beautiful bench that has storage inside.

A new cube table with two shelves will go beside it right in front of the window.  My orchid plant and welcome sign will sit on top.

The old garage sale find end current table beside my couch will be donated to a local thrift store to make room for the new end table with one drawer and one shelf.

The seventy year old cedar chest that my Mom gave us is also going to a new home.  The wallpaper is coming down and a fresh coat of non-voc paint in a light creamy color will add new life to this room.

That's it.  Two simple storage solutions that will help you get organized and turn any room  in your home into a fresh new beginning.  One, find your style.  Two, get rid of the old.

If you'd like to take part in this organizing challenge with me and my friends just sign-up here and you'll receive my 12 month worksheet delivered to your inbox in two shakes of some Florida sunshine.
