I took loads of papers out of our file cabinet, and made a big shred pile.

Good Aurora brand shredder from Staples that doesn't overheat! |
After. Again, not a huge difference, but look at all the room I freed up. Wheeeee! I even keep some extra file folders in the back of the drawer.

I will say that we have one file crate in the basement with paperwork from my old home party business. I still have to keep some of that for a while. However, I refuse to outgrow the file drawer for our normal paperwork.
Does anyone need to do some shredding? Did you already go through some paperwork? I've seen around blogland that this is a pretty popular project to tackle this time of year.

Ah you are so organized. I'm impressed. We have 2 drawers of folders. But that includes all our owners/operation manuals. Which could probably be moved elsewhere! Thanks for sharing.
For some reason your link did not work so I am going to delete it if you would like to try again. Thanks
I don't agree with her article about some things to dispose of after only a year. Granted, there are paper trails to follow, should they be needed, but I'd rather hold on to some of that stuff a bit longer to avoid that hassle!
How inspiring. I so need to clean/purge my paper plies.
Thanks so much for linking this up! Your files look great. Also love that you gave the link to what papers to keep and what to get rid of.
Hope to see you back soon! :)
Oh the irony! YES I need to shred!! I have not read the article yet, but hear 4 years for business/bills and stuff. Off to read the article, and off to get a paper shredder very soon!
I have boxes of old bills and stuff from my folks. Not looking forward to shredding all of that stuff. =(
awesome. come do my house next.

Great idea, I so need to drag myself and do this, I need to keep up on it every year, but I don't.. You have inspired me!

Hey for a minute there I thought you borrowed my picture, then I realized your folders are way thinner than mine! But I have the same beautiful blue hanging files! I still have lots to do, it will be an ongoing project.
I have so much paperwork to be shredded that I'm thinking of buying a fire pit instead. Seriously!
