LL has been teaching me how to organize.  And she has taught me the importance of shoe organizers.  My latest project is a mail shoe organizer.  DH insists on looking through every piece of mail that comes in while he is gone.  The problem, in the past, is that when he gets home he doesn't look at it and it piles up.  This time he was home he shredded five years of mail.  I hung a shoe organizer on the back of our bedroom door.  It's really nice.  I put bills to be paid in one pocket.  When I pay them I write the date on them and move them to another pocket.  If I get an oil change or repair work on the car I put all that stuff in another pocket.  He gets a couple magazines and I put them in the spaces at the bottom.  Other mail I separate out and put in different pockets accordingly.  It's become very organized.  So thanks LL, yet another nicely organized place!

Just thought I'd share this.  Some people complain about bills and not being able to be organized with them.  It's a great way to keep all the bills organized.

This sounds like a great idea for organizing bills, mail, etc. Thanks for posting. Now all I have to do is find a shoe organizer over here. Hey, might be a great gift from my Secret Santa if I get in the group.

I am so bad about reading my mail! Most my bills are paid automatically, the rest I manage to remember to pay online. I usually go through it every few weeks and save it to take to our community shredding events.

They're cheap at Wal-Mart. Hang over the back of the door. I'd be glad to send you one! The clear plastic pockets make it really easy to see what's in it. We get a lot of stuff from our insurance saying "This is not a bill. We received the bill and we are working on the claim." DH saves them. So I put all of them in one pocket. It's actually really nice. I used to throw all the mail on the ottoman or the bed and just wait till he got home. Then he'd throw it on the floor. This is so much nicer.

Bigger house perhaps with a room I can convert to a closet with lots of shoe storage.

No Ed, I tried joining the other board and wasn't able to be approved so LawyerLady invited me here.

My bf gets tons of junk mail and also junk mail for his ex and he won't ever do anything about it, so finally I started calling the places and taking him/her off their mailing list. Nicer for me because I don't have to see her name on the mail every other day :)

Your shoe situation reminded me of Imelda Marcos, so it was my feeble attempt at a joke. blankstare

Speaking of junk mail, ever since we moved to this house I have been getting catalogs for the resident before the one we bought the house from.
They are horrible. Really, really awful. Safari, Femail, Changes.

Look them up and be disgusted. I keep calling and asking them to stop sending me these gross catalogs that I deposit directly into the trash to no avail. *sigh*

I understand belle, I have enough shoes to keep me satisfied that's for sure! But I can't really keep them in normal shoe organizers because most of them are 5-6" heels and won't fit (at least not as a pair)

Without looking them up, shall we assume they are transvestite porn?

That's weird Tangerine, I haven't had a problem stopping junk mail. You should be really mean next time and demand to speak to the supervisor and then his boss and then his boss.

 It's almost that bad, ed. The most hideous decorative crap and old lady lounge wear interspersed with dildos and vibrators.

 Turn them around and put them in the other way.  Sole (heel) out and one to a shoe thing.

 Do they have those subscription cards with postage paid?  Put the catalogs in an envelope with a large note - STOP SENDING THESE, tape one of those postage paid postcards to the outside and mail it.  They will have to pay the postage for you to return it.  Hehehehehehe.

 Stick a brick in there for good measure.  They get to pay for that too!!

 I get it now Ed. Totally missed that one! I often think about her when I am trying to put my shoes away. Only difference is I probably buy much less expensive shoes than she did.
