ideas needed for organizer

[squirter]

I would like to offer a class to make the cute organizer using the basic folder. The ones in the gallery are mostly christmas ones....I don't want to do a Christmas one right now. I need some suggestions on what mine could be used for....what to label each pocket (what would go in the pockets??) I don't want to do a baby shower one....or a Stampin' Up! one (though I will make myself one of those!)....which I found on the gallery. You are all so creative I figure someone will come up with an idea for me!!!

I'd love to make a travel planner one. Does anyone have one in their gallery. (I looked but had trouble finding one.)

Just looked at the Christmas ones in the gallery. Does someone have the instructions to make the folder? Love the idea of the 3 month organizer. Should make a great present for teachers etc.

A picture of what I am talking about....hahaha.....I have absolutley no idea how to put a picture or attach a link (?) on here...so if you look in the gallery under organizers you will see alot of christmas ones. I would LOVE to start my own gallery but never take the time to learn what I have to do....I am always checking out everyone else's stuff!
Anyway....
The organizers are really simple to make.....get a regular folder (they are the "school folders" that come in different colors and have a pocket inside...they sell for about 10 cents) Open the folder up and then fold the left side in half into the center seam and the right side in half into the center seam....then....hummm, how to say it..............make the middle seam come up and the two sides go down. Valley-mountain-valley. Then you just decorate it up and tie a ribbon around it.

I did start working on a "month" one. I made 3 mini calendars with four months per calendar to put on the out side of 3 of the pockets and in each pocket I will put a long list for each month #1-31(or 30/29) to list birthdays or events. On the first pocket I am putting 2008 that I cut out with my sizzix, but I don't know what will go in that pocket.

I know what you mean about posting pics and learing how much less scanning, don't have one. Anyway, the 3 month one sounds great would love to hear more ideas!
