I like free stuff, as long as it is useful and not clutter. Here’s a couple freebies from the week.
1.) Boxes from work. Immediately upon receiving my paper ream orders at work, I knew the boxes should come home with me. They’re nice, sturdy and roomy, and best of all – they’re free. I unpacked all of the paper and set the boxes aside, not really sure what to use them for, but figuring it would be put to use in the boy’s room.
(Actually in the picture you see 2 freebies. The boxes, and then the dresser. My parents picked up the dresser at a garage sale, stained it, and gave it to us. Muy cool!!)
Football uniform storage. I need 1 more box, but I’m happy to at least have the twin’s stuff put away. The boxes will go downstairs with the rest of the sports equipment.
2.) A freebie received. My Earthbound Farm tote. Love it. Used it a couple days ago to lug in my groceries.
Those copy paper boxes also make great “baby” boxes – buy some cute flannel and wrap them, top and bottom separately. I have one for each kid to keep their baby shoes, special drawings, photos, etc. They make great baby shower gifts.
Mimi, that’s a fabulous idea. Thanks for the tip!!
