When D and I have left Avery at the G's for our trips in the past, I've left a small gift for each kid to open on each day that we're gone. This gets to be a bit of a stuff management problem for RHG, so this time I'll buy one small gift for each kid and then make daily cards for them to retrieve from an envelope mounted on some cardboard. Today I spent the afternoon making everything to assemble the cards and envelopes. I still need to assemble and then fill out the cards.
Since it's an ongoing project that I don't want Avery to see, I needed to find a place to store the project. Then I remembered a couple of boxes - with new configurations - from Amazon that arrived recently. I usually break boxes down immediately because otherwise we'd have cardboard boxes coming out of our ears, but I thought I might find a use for them. And I did! It's like the box was made for such a purpose. I just cut the top and side flaps off and voila!
Then I just filed the boxes away.
Easy to reuse, the perfect shape, easy to line up next to each other. Perfect. I love when I am able to reuse things.
