…and a Happy New Year!

Posted by Shaina On December - 28 - 2011

Wishing you a Happy New Year, plus a NeatDesk Desktop Scanner & Digital Filing System giveaway to keep you organized going into 2012!

We had a highly disorganized, hectic, fun-filled Christmas weekend this year. We ran from one place to the next starting Christmas Eve morning, baked cookies in between, showed up late once because Ole decided the odd warm weather required a Christmas Day motorcycle ride (worth it) and stuffed ourselves silly on prime rib, shrimp dip, Christmas cookies and more. Then we collapsed on Monday morning after midnight when we returned home.

I woke up Monday and looked at the carnage that was left in the wake of Christmas. In the midst of trying to declutter, organize and make my house feel like a home again, I keep thinking about all the paper that we store. Receipts for goods purchased, school forms for the kids, recipes printed off and shoved into binders or, more often, between the pages of other cookbooks that I am using simultaneously.


Enter the NeatDesk. I finally opened my NeatDesk after months of looking at it in its box. Stupid of me to not have done it sooner, really. I have the ability to scan and store receipts, doing away with the clumsy piles that so often occupied my desk. I can do the same with teacher correspondence, recipes I cut from magazines and more.

By far the most fun piece of the NeatDesk High Speed Scanner is its ability to extract information from my scanned in information and put it into a digital format, making filing easy and gathering information later on more than simple.

The Neat Company is letting me give away a NeatDesk High Speed Scanner & Digital Filing System to one of my readers to help you get organized in the New Year, too! It means less time cleaning and fretting and organizing and decluttering and more time spend with your family, enjoying them. Here’s to a year filled with special moments and a simpler life.

    One of my biggest goals in 2012 will to become more organized! I saw your commercial for the Neat Company and feel that this product would help me control the mounds of paperwork I seem to aquire through the year. I don’t like to throw anything away for fear I will need it one day, I am so excited to possibly win your Neat Desk scanning product. I think your product will make my life so much easier and also help me become organized and less frustrated!
    Thank you,

  9. Fabs says:

    I would love this. We used to enter every single receipt, check, deposit, etc into Quicken, and then got behind. After 2 years of stacked up receipts I finally had to give in and admit defeat and just throw them all away.
