If you are looking for a can of spray paint you used last summer, you are more likely to look somewhere that you have other cans of paint stored. So, store your paint together with your paint brushes, paint thinner, paint stir stickes, rollers and etc to find them easier later. Label where things go.

My son was delighted with the used sewing machine my mother bought for him. From photography to woodworking to painting to sewing, you can use your talents to create personal and unique gifts. That way, you improve your chances of finding something that doesn’t have to travel so far. Buy Vintage.

My Mother-in-law always washed hers out and dried them and then used them again. My Mother-in-law used to bake small cakes at Christmas time in empty vegetable cans to give away. If you want to get fancy, draw, paint or sew buttons on it for eyes. Zip lock freezer bags. Years ago, I learned to reuse freezer bags.

I am the mother of one daughter and grandmother of one grandson and we all (along with my son-in-law) live together in North Carolina with my 2 sweet dogs and my daughter’s 2 sort-of sweet cats. I will paint anything. I sew – still waiting for a granddaughter so I can make some of those cute little pillowcase dresses!
