Going Green!

So I have been looking for something to help store items that I have accumulated over the years.  

I had been keeping these is shoe boxes, but now that we are doing a good summer cleaning thru the house, I knew I needed to come up with a better system.

I had 3 or 4 shoes box full of stuff from our wedding and honeymoon- cards, programs, pictures, etc.

Then I had a couple other shoe boxes filled with cards/picture from special occasional- our friends birth announcements, wedding invitations, Christmas cards, birthday cards, anniversary cards, etc.  

So when I walked in to HomeGoods the other day I say these green storage containers that I loved. 

I purchase two smaller ones and 1 larger one.  

Then I went to work on going thru the boxes and purging.  

I ended up getting rid of 1 trash bag of stuff.  

Then I was able to use two smaller boxes.

1) Wedding Stuff

2) Cards/Pictures

 I loved that all of the boxes have a little space to label what is in it.  

I still have one large box which I am planning on hanging on to right now because I am sure I can come up with something.
