Day 11: Organization

Today, I spent an hour making something I am really thrilled about. I saw the idea here, and immediately knew I needed to make some. I took 4 boxes from Costco (that they pack your groceries in when you check-out), and covered them with extra fabric I had. I didn't make inside liners for them, because I didn't want to go to that much work or pull out my sewing machine :)

Then I filled up the boxes with things I need to store, but don't use everyday. In one box I put paper plates, in the other I put paper cups, utensils, etc.

Then I put them above my kitchen cabinets. Brilliant!! With our large family, I am constantly trying to figure out ways to de-clutter and organize, and I really love this idea! The cost was free, and it really frees up my pantry of bulky items. I will be on the look-out at Costco for more boxes to cover.

While I was getting crafty, Bells was happily entertaining herself with pretend play. This is mama bird Bells sitting on her 'nest' of pillows, with her baby animals. I love listening to pretend play!
