STYLISH STORAGE

Today I had to make a stop at Michael's Craft store to get something to repair a necklace chain.  Then, of course I had to browse.  They have these lovely boxes on sale for 30% off.  I found 5 cute ones to use for various storage ideas.  When I went to check out they said if I provided my email address, I could get another 25% off. WOW! Great deal.

I love the colors of this one.
Here is a top view.
It measures about 18" x 10" x 4".














Here is a side view of the front.
Perfect size for holding magazine and such on the coffee table shelf.

This one currently sits beside my stained glass lamp.

Butterflies seem to go with the floral lamp.  They also make me think of my writing group--

Chrysalis: Women Writer's.

It measures approximately 10" x 10" x 5".

I am story remotes and calculator in this box. It is not as colorful but still lovely, and I like the words on it.

It is about16" x 8"x 3".

This box is designed like a small suitcase.  I put plastic guards on the four bottom corners as they are metal and I did not want scratching of the furniture.

This box will sit by the phone downstairs and hold pens, pads and such.  

It is about 6"x6"x4".

I love its words: HOPE - Dream - INSPIRE.

I am thinking about going to get a few more for pretty stylish storage.

CATCHING UP

I have not been keeping up my blog as before but things have happened and I have been so distracted.  Now I am going to catch up. I spent Christmas with my best friend, Sue, and her family.  It was nice, especially being around the children.  They add joy to each day.

Brogan was all smiles Christmas morning, so eager go get to the gifts. But breakfast came first.

Then a few snapshots were taken for posterity, postponing the ripping of wrapping paper for a little longer, much to the dismay of the Brogan and Bella.

Now this shot below is perfect for a Christmas card!

Reactions to gifts were priceless.

Bella took on a rather large task unwrapping a gift.

Brogan enjoyed one of his new books.

It was such an enjoyable time.

After all gifts had been unwrapped and scattered about,  the family gathered together and presented me with one final gift...

I have been adopted!  (My last name is blacked out here due to being so unique, but not on original certificate)  It made me feel so loved!.
