Diagram for Re-Packing Stuff Back in Boxes
By Donna
After years of not being able to repack boxes of items I started to draw a sketch of the packing layout BEFORE I remove items for the first time. Otherwise I have more items than what I began with left over after repacking!
Christmas Door Hanger as Gift Decoration
By Robyn
I am delivering a present to someone who loves Diet Coke. I didn't want to wrap the gift, but wanted to add a keepsake. I put a pretty door decoration which has bells on the package. Once the drinks are gone, each time the door rings from the decoration, I will be remembered!

Make your own incredibly inexpensive Lazy Susan! Just take a pan, pour some marbles in it, put another pan on top and voila! A fully functional DIY Lazy Susan. Put your items on the top pan and spin. I saw this on the corner of the counter in my parents' kitchen and thought it was brilliant!

Use an empty paper towel roll. You can use it plain, paint it, or decorate it. It is a great craft projects for the kids. Stuff it full (will hold about 5) with plastic bags. It will fit inside console or pocket on you vehicle. Great for putting trash in, especially when you have children.
