Tuesday Tips @ Ten: Organizing Design Menus

I have tried many different design menu options for display and organization. I’ve had huge magnetic menus with each design a magnet…I’ve had sign frames and stands with printed menus, and I’ve had menus as simple as a piece of laminated paper. In the end I keep going back to that easy-to-print and store, standard, letter sized piece of paper! This week I share with you how I organize and store my menus, and then a really fun way to use them if you watch to the end! Apologies for the technical difficulties I had this morning…so today’s tip was NOT posted at 10. But, here ya go!!

Tuesday Tips @ 10: Balloon Apron Organization

Welcome to another edition of Tuesday Tips at Ten! Today’s tip is for balloon twisters, and I’m going to show you a cool little trick I recently came up with to help me know which balloons are in which little pocket on my apron! I’m always swapping out what’s in those pockets based on the event and theme, so I can never remember what is where. This trip keeps me from having to dig in all the pockets to find what I need!
