1. Using your word processing program, select a label template. I use Word with Avery® file folder labels. They create a nice sized label and print 30 labels per 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.
2. Print the name of the camper in the labels. Feel free to use whatever colour and font you wish. You can even add a clip-art symbol such as a maple leaf, flower or car.
3. Print out the sheet MIRROR IMAGE on Avery® T-Shirt transfers.
4. Cut the labels and iron them onto the clothing according to the T-shirt transfer instructions.

If you make your own labels, you do not even have to use the child’s name. You could use a special symbol or even a tiny photo of the child him/herself – perfect for kids who can’t read yet!

• For each bed you should have two sets (pillow cases, flat sheet and fitted sheet); one on the bed and one in the closet. For the guest bed, one set is sufficient. Instead of having percale sheets and flannelette sheets, try using jersey knit sheets all year long.
• You should have one duvet or comforter per bed and/or 1 or 2 blankets per bed depending on your climate.
• Surplus pillows should have two pillow cases each.
• Each person in the house should have two bath towels (three for those with long hair), and two or three face clothes per adult, for per child.
• If you do laundry more often, you could reduce the number of sheets and towels you have. If you have young children you should have an extra set of sheets in case one of the children is ill and you do not have time to do the laundry. If you have a pool or go to the beach often you may want to have an extra bath towel per person.

Linen Storage

Store your linens in the linen closet if you have one. Put all the sheets of the same size on the same shelf. To keep sheet sets together, fold the sheets and put them inside the matching pillow case. One idea is to buy all sheet sets in the same colour. For example all the sheets for double beds are blue, all the sheets for single beds are pink.

If you do not have a linen closet, store your sheet sets in the room in which they are used, either in the closet or in a container under the bed. You can store bath towels in the bedrooms too.

If you put a sticker with the date on the container of make-up, you will have an idea of when you should toss it.

Here are some ideas:

• Donate them to a funeral parlour or cemetery.
• Donate them to a hospital or long term care centre.
• Return them to the florist or give them to a floral design school.
• Offer them to an interior decorating school.
• Donate them to groups that organize fundraising dinners.
• You can use them to store paintbrushes and art supplies.
• Most vases are not made of food-quality material so it is not a good idea to store food in them but you can use them to store spoons, spatulas and ladles in the kitchen.
• Fill a pretty vase with a collection of antique keys to decorate your home and show off your collection.
