We use to collect receipt in a baskin robins container...they use to give the round ice cream containers away, once they were empty. we have a bunch .... one was for house hold purchases...business, entertainment etc :) I love this organizer..making one for my dad, for his birthday. Great masculine gift idea ...very few out there ;) thank you for a great video
No lie.....you pulled out that box and I lost it...LMAO!!! I do the same darn thing!!! Thank you for making me feel better.....I'm not the only one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would make a great birthday book. List Days of the month instead of ledger, with birthdays/anniversaries, etc. noted, buy your cards ahead and put your cards in the envelopes. (6.5 x 9.5 would allow you to put in bigger cards if needed). They would be ready and waiting in the appropriate months. I have seen variations, but really like this one! Thanks!
It is Soooooooo nice to know a genius :) I love this. I don't have to do my own taxes for a business, but I still love this book. It would be great to use as a birthday card book so you're always prepared for birthdays...as opposed to remembering them three days late.
Nik, I made your bill holder last year, and continue to use it to this day. I take months off the 3 rings and file them away when it gets bulky. I should send you a picture. I’ve had to add months, but it keeps all my paid bills for the month together. This is another great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome - i'm a tax pro, so tax season isn't so daunting to me, but, i'm a Canadian tax preparer, i'm sure American taxes beat ours out for insanity. Love this folio. You're always full of great ideas. Thanks for the inspirations.
I was married to a tax preparer for over 20 years and you're stash of receipts is tidy by comparison to some I saw. At least you KEPT the receipts - trying to figure what a person spent over the year from their memory is always an adventure into fantasy. The preparer gets pilloried for low-balling the estimate and gets the blame when IRS comes calling.
Genius Nik!! I actually thought the box was very since a lot of times people bring them in grocery store bags!!😅😅😂😹🤣 I was the personal assistant to several attorneys in a law firm so I've sorted these messes twice as large for a few weeks!! Nightmare!! Your plan is much better than what the accountant had me do. I shared this video with the new personal assistants who works with the attorneys. 💙💚💛💜
Sewing the edges adds that special touch. (edit) Oh wow... you've got a stamp from Germany, old, old, old one. I wonder if a collector would get a stroke watching this. 😅
I have a lot of those stamps. It has taken me a while to actually search out the value of some of mine. I know that some of my unused stamps are worth a few dollars each, but most, especially used stamps that were the normal stamps of the day, have little value. Oh, the hours that I spect soaking and finding a spot for stamps growing up, though!!! It was so much fun! I have actually used some of my collection. It took a while to decide to do it.
34:42 to quickly get to the current month, you could tie a little ribbon in a larks head through the tag hole, then move it to the next month each time. 😊
You made receipt holder a couple of years ago. I learned it from you. I made them with large envelopes and one for each month and used a cereal box for the cover. I made it for my friend for her business and she is very organized now. Her accountant loves her more since it is easy for her to find all of her tax info. I added a paper clip to each envelope to keep the receipts in each monthly section. I am shocked that you let your receipts sit in a box like that all year! I hope it is only for effect, because I thought you learned a lesson in organization a while ago! Ok, now I will watch the rest of the video! 😳😂😇😜🙏🏽
My in-laws are going to start RVing through the winter months and are looking for a book to keep track of expenses..ie..campgrounds,gas, repairs, maintenance, favorite places, memorabilia ect...this would be a great idea for them...thank you for always inspiring us Nik...
Great idea! You crack me up! That is how my husband used to handle receipts. His bookkeeper came to our door a couple months after we were married with this huge box and said to him, "You are married, she can do it and I don't want to anymore" and handed us the box of jumbled receipts. Then I got to learn how!
I made a couple of these at a crop a few weeks ago. I search for August for about 15 minutes the went to make the second and realized that August was missing. LOL Happy to see the updated file on your Flicker account. These are really helpful.
Two words describe why I hate filing- paper cuts. It could be why it rarely gets done. Maybe this will help! Lol Thanks for such a nice looking solution!
Wow, that thing is going to last into eternity!! Yep, gotta make me one, too. Brilliant, as always! Thank you for sharing this. Really love how it turned out.
Omg,I have to make one of these I have been buying them every year now I will be making one every year no wait just empty all out put in a shoe box .and reuse for the next year thanks so much for sharing with us.
I think in the back it would be good to put a couple more ledge pages and you could have your totals all added and completed for a quick view! Very cool
I love this project! It's all officy, which I love! And, I have tons of old file folders and those green hanging file folders that I can use for this! They look so cool! Thank you!
Except for the tags (months) at the top, my mom had ( I now have) a "Household Bill Organizer" very much like this. The cover is well-worn leather. There are still receipts inside dating back to mom's senior year in high school, which was 1954. Your videos are a pleasure to watch and your instructions are easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your creative flow with all of us! ~TA~
I'm going to make one of these to organize my ephemera. I got some plastic photo sleeves of various sizes on sale a few months ago and I am going to use them as pockets inside your brilliant design so I can see everything in one place. Love it Nik. Thank you.
Love this Nik! Thanks for sharing all your lovely ideas! I am now my dad's executor and this is perfect for keeping at his house for his use and easy for me to grab and add notes and such! Thanks again!
This is a great idea! I enjoy your tutorials, no matter what they are about. Building this is going to be just as fun as building the specimen folio. Thank you for the inspiration.
This is just too slick. Love it. Made one as soon as I finished watching....quick, simple, practical, useful and looks good to boot. Will probably make another one to use for recipes, since I'm turfing all my magazines....but I know I'll be tearing out numerous recipes. Soups, Salads, main courses, desserts, baked goods. Thank-you for sharing....much appreciated.
This is a great idea that makes collecting receipts a little tiny bit more fun 😊! Now to clear off my desk and find the old file folders 😳😆! Thank you for the tutorial 💗🤗!
At least you have them all in a box! Mine are all over the place! Why can’t I just do it on a regular basis and not be in a spin running around trying to find all those receipts! Great idea, perfect timing as I was trying to think of a creative way to make something fun, rather than a boring folder that says yuck! ❤️ I love this, thank you!❤️
Thank you Nik, great folio for all sorts of good things. I made 3 of the first folio as gifts and the gals love them !! I’m miss disorganized, just isn’t my thing but I’m needing to get with it so this is great ❤️
I really enjoy your way of thinking. Thanks for letting me hang out with you (so to speak). Stay warm. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Marilyn -I don’t think it matters right handed or left. All of the empty envelopes would be under where you write while the filled/ lumpy envelopes would be flipped to the left. Just thought the suggest might help someone. Just saying. 😉
@@susanmessatzzia2223 Presumably, you would be writing all this down as it happens, so there would not be "stuff" in the envelopes until that month happens. JMHO, no offense meant as I am right handed.
Exactly what I was thinking! 🤓And the filled up/bulky envelopes wouldn't interfere with writing as you work through each month of the year.😉 Such a fun project!
Just genius. Pure genius. Who would think of this other than Nik. You could go buy a consatina file thingy but they’re awful. This is lovely and given that you only use it on a mo that basis it can be used again and again. Your tax man/accountant will love it. I love it. Doesn’t matter where the ledger paper goes, love your work. Congrats to you is all that is needed . Thanks for sharing with us all. Nice things to Nik hey xxxxx Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
This is so much inspiring than my current method. And the timing is good as my current method (an accordion monthly file) is falling apart! So I’m thinking it’s time to upgrade and repurpose! Thanks Nik!
“Pulled myself out of the fetal position” then slowly brings into frame the box stuffed full of receipts 🤣 😃
You are truly hilarious.
So humorous ... thanks for the LOLs .... I am always entertained by your narration, in addition to loving your crafting.

....at least yours are in one location! Seems pretty organized by my standard🤷♀️

Yet another winner!!👍🏻🏆😁
Would make a great prayer journal
Great project! I have seen too many things I want to make. I’ve been binge watching your Chanel. Thanks for the great videos!
I can think of a few things to use these on ... I like it!! Thanks, Nik!
Thank you for going beyond the inferior way! 🤣This is way cool and really useful! Thanks Nik!
I love this idea Nik.It turned out as stunningly practical and functional as most of your shares :) TFS!
Another fabulous thingy ma-bob.... Girl, you rock.
I love this project! It's all officy, which I love! And, I have tons of old file folders and those green hanging file folders that I can use for this! They look so cool! Thank you!
I have so many ideas on how to modify this. You are so creative
This so looks like a mysterious parcel. Love it.
I have a box just like that! ADHD minds think alike. This is GENIUS! ;-)
Love your projects and your method of teaching!! Thank you so much!
Thanks book lady!! Great ideas!
So much cooler than my plastic 12-month file folder from Staples. I love it.
Creative clear and concise..as always... thx Nik love your vids!
What a tortured and brilliant mind you have! I couldn’t begin to imagine how to remake folders into something so useful!!
This is such a great idea I can think of at least three uses for this. Thanks a bunch Love this idea.TFS

I love this! Thanks!
you always make things I have been thinking about and could really use! Love it! Thank you!
I love this organizational folio. Thank you!
If the ledger paper went on the right side you would have a smooth writing all year long...
If you're right handed.
Marilyn -I don’t think it matters right handed or left. All of the empty envelopes would be under where you write while the filled/ lumpy envelopes would be flipped to the left. Just thought the suggest might help someone. Just saying. 😉

Awesome! Great idea!
I wonder if my hubby would keep this nice and neat. Better then a Walmart bag of receipts. Lol Going to give it a try.💜
Hi Nick, what a fantastic folio! Awesome job💕
Love it! Thank you!
Omg The box of doom.... yup...me too! Every year I say I’ll do better... but...nope didn’t happen.
I see many uses for this.
I worked with accountants for years as an EA so when you showed that box of receipts I was itching to sort them out lol. Weird I know!
