miscellaneous monday

miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share all the stuff we don't share the rest of the week. what say you?


over the holiday weekend, my daughters rearranged my bedroom to create a crafting area. it's wonderful! now i have a place to spread my projects and i don't have to put them away between work sessions. and the table in the kitchen remains free for normal kitchen activities, like eating dinner. now that the room is rearranged putting all the stuff in order is now the focus. everything is in odd boxes or box lids. as i have been dealing with stuff in boxes and box lids, a thought came to mind. remember velveeta cheese?  it is packaged in a very sturdy cardboard rectangle box. the lid is a thinner cardboard that slides over the bottom half of the box. the cheese has value for some recipes however the true value is the box! they make great organizers for drawers. they hold lots of items like pens and pencils, paint brushes, crayons, markers and on and on. dating myself, i still have velveeta boxes in the kitchen drawers, holding small kitchen utensils, that date back to 1972! besides taking care of them, the boxes last and last. they are that sturdy. do you have any velveeta boxes you utilize for practical use?
