I’ll tell you a secret: I’m writing this on the fifth and publishing it on the sixth (Or I was supposed to). I’m going to a camp and won’t have time to write a post beforehand. I won’t be able to publish anything on the seventh probably, so I’ll be doing two post on the eight.
So here’s this:
If you want a simple rectangular box without a lid you can cut off the bottom of a cereal box and use that. I suggest you cover it with paper. Mine’s peeling so I’ll have to re-glue it.

Okay, here’s my tip for today…
If you’re storing beads I don’t suggest you do it in a plastic ziplock bag. They tend to get holes in them and then you’re dropping bead everywhere. I suggest using a fish tackle box or for small beads old medicine or seasoning bottles.

Today’s life tip:
If you’re doing a small sewing project, use old clothes. They already have seams in them, so it saves you time, effort and money.
For instance this is made out of the bottom of some jeans I was turning into shorts:

Okay, here’s today’s craft! As long as you can do a basic sewing stitch you can do this (You could probably glue it as well, but I haven’t tried) I literally just sewed a cover on a old cookie sheet. I use it as a by the bedside table for the loft. For most places it’s not too useful, but hey, you never know who’ll it’ll inspire. Anyway, here’s some pics of it:

So… have you ever seen those thirty day challenges? The ones that have you do something every day for thirty day. Well, I came up with one for myself for the month of August. I’m going to write a life tip or craft every day this month. Since today is the second (I was way too worn out from marching band to think straight yesterday)…anyway because of that I’ll do two today. There will be a few days I’ll be camping and cut off from technology this month. During that time I’ll post an extra make-up one.
Anyway…life tip from yesterday: Try to square off some time for what matters most to you, then leave some time so that you can do what else you want. Either that or try to find a schedule that moves fluently. If your brain works differently, then fine-one size almost never fits all-but from what I’ve seen if you don’t plan anything, you never get anything done, but if you plan everything you get stressed by the schedule.
Then for today, here’s a craft:
This is something I discovered by somewhat accident, and it’s really easy to do! I literally stuck a three toilet paper rolls (covered by paper-it makes them look nicer) into a tin can that some pineapples came in (Low tin can, now tall like tomato sauce usually is, but slightly more saucer shaped). It works as a desk organizer. One that’s easily divided into sections! It’s really convenient 🙂 Plus, it’s cheap, since it’s mostly made out of things usually considered trash!
