Craft Beads

When you get that heart shaped box of candy for Valentine's day, save it and use it to store craft beads in. The little candy cups inside are perfect for those tiny beads.

SAVING SPACE

I've been intending to clean out my empty drawers and closets for some time. Today I boxed all the clothes that I have outgrown or too large and hardly ever wear. I have contacted the local United Way to get me in contact with any group or organization that is sending clothing and other items to the relief effort in Haiti. This is one way in which you can save space, help those in need and get a tax deduction all at the same time. You may also ask to see what other items you can also donate.

grab n go

25 years ago I gave this tip to my truck driver husband and he has used it every day since. It is also great for kids going to camp. Instead of packing a pile of shirts, a pile of underwear, etc, lay out a pair of pants and stack a shirt, underwear, socks, etc. Then simply roll up and hold together with a sturdy rubber band. Each day just pull out a roll to wear!

stray cord organizer

Take a toliet paper roll or paper towell roll ( the cardboard roll) and run electrical cords through so they don't become a tangles mess. Can cut the roll to proper size, label as to contained cords( wrap cords with different color bread bag ties).or even decorate to camoflauge tube.

Duplicate Stockings

When you are purchasing Christmas stockings buy 2 so you can hide one set and fill it as you go. It will be much easier to "trade off" a full stocking in the wee hours instead of sorting gifts and filling each one and it won't be too empty or overflowing. Put the empty one you remove in your hiding place until the next year
