DIY: how to be a grown up.

When you reach a certain age in life you become what is known as a "grown-up". Being a "grown-up" entails various things. Since I have not yet crossed over into "being a grown-up" I have no idea what these "things" actually are and am therefore unable to elaborate. You will have heard many grown-ups throw around terms like investment policies, life insurance, retirement funds and mortgages and bonds and generally when these things come up, I nod my head and "agree".

What I do know about being a grown up is that it involves a rather large amount of post. Warren, being the grown-up that he is, receives these posted things on a daily basis and he has developed a highly advanced filing system for these things - next to the bed:

It's a very effective system. In fact, it is also the same filing system used by my own father. As you can imagine, my mother fully approves of this advanced filing system. I decided to contribute to Warren being a grown up by making him a fancy file to store his grown up post, in a very organised and adult-like way. You can make one yourself and it's so easy, you don't even need a grown up to help you - Photobucket
What you need:
  • a big black file
  • tape
  • washi tape (obviously)
  • bits and pieces (random tickets, printed pictures, movie stubs and other papery reminders of fun times)
  • scissors
  • file dividers
  • plastic sleeves

Washi tape is essential for any crafting project.
