I can’t CONTAIN it!
Betcha didn’t know today was Container Saturday! I was on a container kick. I went to Garden Ridge to “window shop” (I know, most people window shop at Macy’s and Saks, but not me) and ended up with some really cool stuff.
I bought this box and turned it into my ribbon storage for my stamping/scrapbooking goodies:
And, with the help of my trusy drill and some dowel rods and caps I bought, I turned it into this:
My friend Holli’s husband made her one, so I’ll give credit where it’s due….thanks Shane for the great idea!
And while window shopping, I came across this (which I’m VERY excited about):
What is it? It’s a container to store wrapping paper! And it has a handle for easy carrying. And the clear top pops off and there’s storage inside the red thingy for ribbon, tape, and scissors! LOVE IT! And, it was only $10.
It’s OK. You can make fun of me for taking such joy in the small things- I can handle it.
From today’s To-Do list:
- Updated Quicken- CHECK!

If you like containers you MUST get the new issue of Blueprint magazine. It describes how to use two library project boxes to make a charger center/cover. Amazing! You’ll love it.
