| Keepsake Bins |

Do you have bits and pieces of memorabilia all over the house? You want to keep it but how and where? Why not start a keepsake bin. They can be used for
everyone in your family. I would suggest having one bin per child to keep all of their special school projects, tests, report cards, certificates/awards, art work and
of course some of their special baby items. Even adults need a keepsake bin. The most popular place to hide these little treasures is in our bedroom closets. Keeping
your special items hidden away in your closet or spread throughout your home is only creating more clutter in your life.
Keepsake bins are great for Grandparents too. Why not give one from the kids so that all of their special gifts & cards that they have given over the years can be
kept in one special and safe place.
The best place to keep your keepsake bins are where they can be easily accessed but not in the way. Under the bed, in each person's closet, the garage or a storage
room would be great places to store them. There is no wrong type of Keepsake bin; it can be a beautiful box from a specialty store like Home Sense or Rubbermaid bins
which come in all different shapes and sizes or you can even create your own special box by covering a plain cardboard box with fabric. It is really just a personal
preference. Don't forget, Mother's Day is coming soon and a Keepsake bin would be a great gift. Give the gift of organization. I promise you, they will love it.
