Storage #2

I was relieved to learn from all the comments from my fabric storage boxes, I am not the only "Piler" out there.  I was thrilled to find these lime green crates at Wal-Mart for $3.47-so I bought 7 of them. (Last Friday, when I went back they were all on clearance for $2).  I  added hanging files to three of them to keep track of various files of mine.  The other 4, I'm simply going to use to hold more of my piles. 

I typed up some labels, and then double-mounted them on both patterned and black card stock.  Then I busted out my daughter's laminater (she actually asked for one for her last b-day-how cool is she?).  The I cut out 2 inch strips of fabric, punched holes, and tied a label on each basket.  Ton of very cute storage for very little money.


I'm still working on the craft room, so stay tuned for the big reveal.

    Ooo...I could hide a lot of stuff in there. I've seen those crates, but hadn't considered them before, but I think I could do that.

    I'm actually a pack rat-- which is WORSE than a piler! But I love organizing ideas. These cheery bins are so adorable. Great job. Thanks for linking this great project to Fab Friday!

    Warmly, Michelle
