Unfortunately, after searching, I cannot see a way on my end to cancel the notifications. Maybe there is a way to "unsubscribe" in the emails you receive? I'm sorry!

Keep my paper in Iris boxes in a rolling cart that holds 6 boxes. Have 3 rolling carts. They are sorted by color, mostly. The boxes are all full.
