Capitulate - verb (used without object)
1. to surrender unconditionally or on stipulated terms.
2. to give up resistance
I capitulated after less than a week. I could not deal with looking into each and every drawer in my “card file” to find a bloody pair of shoes as I was racing out the door in the morning, with Connor tugging on his lead, and knowing that I was already late!
Makes sense to me....I guess unlabeled would have been like those memory mind games...might be good for the brain but highly annoying when in a hurry!
ReplyDeleteI love obsessive...
ReplyDeleteLOL and sigh of relief because I was about to offer to make labels for you! Or even more obsessive, scan shoe pictures onto the labels.
ReplyDeleteCan't keep Connor waiting - I like the look of the labels. Simple and classic!
ReplyDeleteLol, from a guy with OCD I am a big fan!
ReplyDeleteSavile Joe
you could take a picture of each shoe.
ReplyDeletehow about alphabetize next? I would have done the same thing!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I've been circling back around to see if you would post a follow-up! Well played
ReplyDeleteHmph! You say obsessive as if it were a bad thing...
ReplyDeleteHow many drawers? Do tell ...
ReplyDelete30 drawers!!! I am still dancing around with happiness for this score! It's a great piece.
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC!! SO ORIGINAL,I LOVE THE LABELS THEY HAVE A VINTAGY LOOK
ReplyDeleteMary Jane, I really fiddled with the font to use and thought this was a classic look.
ReplyDeleteAmazing....love this obsession Meg, xv.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stylish idea Meg! I love it. Unfortunately, for me, I would need a file cabinet for each pair.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I still vote for the "exotic" names for each pair to raise everyone's curiosity as to what's inside but I do love the whole look as it is.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was, "why not just put a photo in the slot"? Then I got to Tamra's comment. Oh, yes! Each pair needs a name....Then you could print the name in the colour of the shoe and sort them into columns by colour, alphabetically from top to bottom. OCD? Me? Nah!
ReplyDeleteOK... here's why i didn't do pictures of the shoes. I would have had to set up the light box, take the picture of each pair, download the pictures, edit them, put them into a format that would fit the little space and then print them and then cut each one out. Whew!
ReplyDeleteWith the names, all I had to do was create a little template and add the shoe name and print and cut. It was a massive time savings!
i like the idea with the names better than the shoe photographs. beside the time consuming all those colored images would look too busy, imho.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the black Meg.
