It’s just about that time to start sending out the Christmas cards. Do you make your own or buy them? Do you have them engraved or do you write your own personal messages in them and sign them by hand? Do you pick up the cheapest box of cards that are all the same, generic ones or do you spend a few bucks and have fancy christmas photo cards made?

I’ve done it just about every way mentioned above except for the photo cards. I could never get hubby to do a family photo. He hates having his picture taken and getting dressed up for one.

Which types do you like the best? I really love the cute ones with snowmen, animals or with a pretty snow scene on the the most. Unfortunately I probably won’t be sending out any cards this year. My leftover cards from last year are in storage and I really can’t afford to do the cards this year.

Tips for boxes

Here are some tips on reusing shipping boxes. If you are like me and order online you end up with quite a few boxes laying around. You can reuse them to mail stuff to family and friends.

Not only can you reuse the boxes, the packing materials inside the boxes can be reused to save you money.

When you reuse a box for shipping be sure to remove all labels from the reused box, or use a black marker to completely cover the label, otherwise the machinery used to read the label could end up sending your package right back to you.

You can also use small boxes to put breakable things in and put the small boxes inside a larger box. It helps with cushioning and keeps fragile items from breaking in transit.

I need to organize

The closet in my spare bedroom is quickly becoming a disaster area. In fact the entire bedroom is on it’s way in that direction. I have boxes in the closet that have been there since I moved in and haven’t been unpacked.

I couldn’t begin to tell you what’s there. There could be any number of things in those boxes… such as old weight loss pills, pencils, papers, cards and maybe even some trash and who knows what else.

See the picture up there? Those boxes on the right are the ones I’m talking about. The picture is only the right half of the closet. There is more junk on the left and on the shelf above. This closet runs almost the entire length of one wall.

I have got to get my rear in gear and clean out this dumping ground of a spare bedroom!
