Extra Blankets

Instead of using a pillow to stuff my shams, I store extra blankets in them. Saves storage space & bed still look good!

Easy Organizing - Out with the Old

5.00 / 1 votes

When I organize my closet, I put all the hangers facing out. When I wear something, after it's washed, I place it back in the closet with the hanger facing in. After six months, anything with the hanger still facing out goes to Goodwill. That way I keep what I wear and see what I really don't wear.

2 suitcases in 1

I knew I was only allowed 1 FREE checked bag when I departed the U.S. and 2 FREE checked bags on the way back. So I packed a soft-sided suitcase into my hard-sided suitcase along with my clothes and things. When I arrived in Europe, I took out the 2nd bag and had plenty of room for souvenirs! This is great, since I'm a chronic overpacker and now I had so much room when I returned home! Just be sure to stay within the weight limits. I had to put some items in my carry-on bag, which also sometimes has a weight limit. The airline weighed my messenger bag!

Clear Plastic Folder Pouch For Menu Holder

I collect menus from all the restaurants that I go to and keep them in a clear pouch folder with my phone books. Then if I want to order something to go, each menu is stored with prices. Descriptions are available too. This is nice for out of town company to preview before going out to eat. It also saves time on deciding what to order!

Cookie Tin Ornament Keeper

An empty Christmas cookie tin makes a great storage place for delicate or special "homemade" ornaments from your children or grandchildren! Wrap delicates with SCOTT® Towels and place in appropriate size tin. Place special "homemades" between towels for extra protection and place in tin. Tins are usually received as gifts so no expense there and being tin, they are extra sturdy. Place a label on top and you know exactly what's in it next year. It's worked great for me for years!
