Collecting pins started a few years ago innocently enough by watching people pin trade at Disneyworld.  I couldn't believe what an enormous industry pin collecting is.  This year I got to the point where I needed a place to store my "little" pin collection other than in a drawer where no one ever saw them. My daughter who works at Disneyworld gave me this beautiful pin s...

For any homemaker or crafter, Rubbermaid has to be our best friend.  I have used this particular brand of storage containers for well over 25 years.  There is not a size or color that I cannot find, the price is affordable and the durability is unchallenged in our household.  I use this to store all of my seasonal decorations, Green for Christmas, Orange/Black for Halloween, Red ...

My sons are pack rats. It is next to impossible to get them to get rid of anything. They are almost 14 and still have the blankets a family member made for them when I was pregnant. They love blankets and pillows and refuse to get rid of their older blankets when they get knew ones.We have several sets of twin size comforters and sheets, as well as, many different throws that they insist on kee...

I  bought some space bags afew months ago, to put my (what seems like) millions of clothes in.  I saw the space bags in the store and thought, they must work, because they have been around forever. There is medium, large, extra large, and jumbo.  I decided to get the combo set. It contains 2 large, 1 jumbo plue 1 e-z load bag.   First thing I noticed was that the plastic pie...

The Sterilite drawer units help me organize tasks in my office.  The size of the drawers is really good– large enough to put file folders in and have them lie flat.I wasn’t willing to pay full price for these units, but when the store had a 40% off sale, I bought two.  I think they are well worth $20 each.  Sterilite makes storage boxes that come in various sizes and ...

These are the baskets I purchased for my Sauder cabinet review I did earlier today.  I went to quite a few places before finding what I was looking for and as I headed out to Pier 1 Imports I was hoping they would have the selection in the store that I had found on their website.I needed 3 baskets to fit into my lower cabinet shelves and they could not be larger than 12" wide.  I...

 I wanted to purchase different size storage containers for my closets. I also needed storage containers for my bathrooms. I went shopping at Walmart because they had a large selection of sizes and the prices were very reasonable. I was able to find all the sizes that I needed. I bought them all in the sterilite brand. They have solved my storage problems. They have made it easier to organ...

Mainstays Storage Bags is WalMart's answer to the Space Bag. These are the bags one sees advertised on television as plastic bags that you can put all kinds of clothes or bedding in and then you vacuum out the excess air thus leaving your clothes protected from moths, water, dirt, mold and mildew. These bags are suppose to let you store clothes or covers safely for as long as you want. If y...

In 2003 when I purchased my new 19" boat I wanted to find something to store it in for the winter. I found a this 10x20 canopy at my local Costco. It was a breeze to put together. I have had this canopy now for more than 5 years and its still standing, its a little dirty from the trees in my back yard and has some minor tears but as long as you clean the roof off of snow as you get so...

Yes, the orginal space bags really do work! I know most people say we'll...it was one of those as seen on t.v. items. I bet it doesn't work like they really say. Well..this product really does work.I absolutly love them. I've bought many different packages and sizes of the space bags. Most recently I've bought a package at Home Depot for only $5.00. The bags included 2 medium ba...

The Sterilite drawer units help me organize tasks in my office.  The size is good, but not perfect for what I want.These are inexpensive (that being relative to other options) storage boxes that come in various sizes and configurations.  These units have three drawers, and the outside of the case is 11 1/8 inches wide, 14 1/8 inches deep, and 10 1/4 inches tall.Each drawer has inside ...

Grandchildren are the greatest joys in life. Along with them comes the array of numerous toys which need an organized home. I am blessed to have an almost two year old grandson named Cooper. Yes, I do tend to spoil him but not too much! I try to limit the amount of toys as an overabundance leads to boredom or not knowing which toy to play with at one time but they do tend to accumulate over tim...

This garage was purchased as a place to store an extra car.  We had researched online and tried to find the best deal that we could, and finally settled on the $300 price at BJ's wholesale. The 24X12 size is very spacious.  The tarp is heavy duty.  I have no fear about this tarp weathering well.  It took approximately 9 man hours to construct this garage.  The direc...

I received several jumbo space bags in the mail as a sample to try a while back.  Since we were going to be moving, I thought these would come in handy to store our big bedding & pillows since they take up so much space.  I followed the directions on the packaging very carefully and at first the space bags seemed to work really well.  Using my vacuum, I sucked out a great dea...

In less than a month school year 2009-2010 is about to commence. It is kind of hard to mix with crowded people to buy the school materials of my kids so I did it in advance. Glad I made such decision at least the consumers in my favorite store are still manageable and the line up is not that long.I did buy the first batch of supplies on May 10, Mother's Day, with my daughter who is an incom...

The Rubbermaid Snap Topper storage boxes cost a little more, but if you need to be able to be sure that the box is securely sealed this is a good choice.I needed to store dried backpacking foods between hikes, and the one metal box with a tight lid that I have is great, but it isn’t large enough.  I had tried a couple of lighter weight and cheaper plastic storage boxes, but the moths...

Ziploc Big Bags – These are pretty good if you need to store things. They can hold clothes, sports equipment, pillows, blankets, decorations, camping equipment etc. if you have small areas that can be used for storage these bags will keep things together. I put my winter clothes in these bags and then I slide them under the bed. I do not have to worry about bugs, spiders, mold or mildew...

  My bedroom sometimes looks like a craft store threw up.  I couldn't take it any more.  When I last went to Michaels I saw a storage case made just for scrapbook periphials.  I was able to fit to pads of scrapbooking paper, decals by the tons, and my scrapbooking adhesive set.  I still have room for much more too!  It's demensions are 12" x 12" a...
