I used to have literally hundreds of post-it notes around my house. They were on the table, on the counters, on the fridge, even on my daytimer and my PDA. I’m a note person, but it’s next to impossible to keep them all in one place when you’re as busy as I am. Since I’ve been using my CrossItOff.List from Buttoned Up I’ve cut way down on the extraneous pieces of paper and have a central place to consolidate all of my notes. It’s a unique take on the To-Do list, with lots of room for your own lists as well as a section of duplicate sticky notes for tasks you need to delegate. I love the duplicate idea ~ it helps me to remember to check up on my husband and see whether he’s actually done his jobs!

At less than $10, it makes a great gift for the organizationally challenged and an inexpensive tool for any home.

We’ve got one to give away! Simply email theopininonatedparent@gmail.com with CrossItOff.List in the subject line and tell us one of the cardinal rules listed on the site of getting Buttoned Up! Contest closes Monday, June 18/07 at midnight MST. Congratulations Tonya!
