Ok, serves me right for being lazy... here's the list again...



I found this list originally at Sticker Stadium.com, I think. But when I went back to confirm that, I couldn't find it, so I'm still not sure. I have reposted pictures of the drawers, for convenience.


ANIMALS: animals, zoo, pets, bugs, marine life
CHILD: baby, child, teen, sports, school, graduation, famous characters (like Sponge Bob & Dora?)
HOLIDAY: holidays, seasons, religion, patriotic
HOME: family, furniture, tools, food, hobbies, clothes, feminine, masculine, retro, nostalgic, technology
NATURE: flowers, garden, trees, rocks, water, outdoors, beach
PARTY: birthday, wedding, love, cameras, musical instruments, theater
SHAPES: abc's, stars, dots, arrows, squares, lines, bows, buttons
TRAVEL: vacations, places, vehicles, ethnic

Personally, I don't use this list as is. I've made adjustments, based on the amount of supplies I have for each theme. You will have to do the same. But at least, this gives you a starting point. Organization is an on-going, never-ending process for me, and probably you as well.

Things that are different in my system:
* I don't have abc's as part of my theme system. They have their own special place. I do have some alphabet stickers in certain drawers. For example, my animal print sticker letters are in the ANIMAL drawer with other zoo stuff.
* I have a whole drawer of school stuff. (between my kids & my teaching photos, I needed a whole drawer!)
* I have a fishing/camping drawer. My husband and son (& sometimes dd) are avid fishermen. And we have tons of camping pics from our "early years".
* I have a drawer for my Basic Grey papers and embellishments & one for my Wild Asparagus.
*I have a drawer just for Christmas. And one with Halloween & Thanksgiving. Also one with Easter & Spring.
So you can see that I started with that list & then made it work for me. I did sort everything according to the list initially. When I realized how much I had for certain themes - I adjusted the labels.
