 received in email: 1. Start with a clean slate. Take everything out of the closet and decide what will stay and what will go. Grab some bins to collect everything that doesn’t belong, and find its proper home. This will allow you to utilize the space  more productively. 2. Purge. Old cleats?  Pitch, sell, or donate. As you go through items good rule of thumb is if you haven’t used it in a year, get rid of it! By minimizing what is actually stored in the garage, it will be easier to create a decluttered, serene space.   3. Create a storage plan. After you’ve cleared out the closed and purged, it’s time to create a storage game plan. Divide the garage into zones:  and categorize the items. Find a place for miscellaneous items that you plan on keeping. Rather than allowing items to pile in the corner, include them in your storage plan.  4.

 We are all more conscious of the tremendous amount of waste produced on a daily basis. We have been saving many of our DVDs that we no longer need and started being creative with them. Here are few of them online. We use recycled magazines, junk mail, notecards and greeting cards in a creative way. You forget that they were headed to the trash can. I hope you will like some of them. It's a better alternative, in my opinion to the small square coasters. It's much roomier to hold your favorite cup of coffee or tea, as well as drinks. They also make great house warming gifts as well.   (click on the images to purchase, if they are still available. Don't worry, new designs are coming up often)   Here is another one with blue theme, do you see the skier ?   Check the coasters section often, as new items get added. If you buy more than $35 worth of giftable items, you would get 10% discount, till May 21st, 2021.   What other themes and colors would you like to see?
