I just thought I would pass along a storage idea. I was at Xpedex the other day and they have these clear plastic containers. These measure 12.5" X 12.5" X 2.5".

The best part is the price they are $3.00 ish.

That's a lot cheaper than the ones at Joann's, even with their 40% off coupon. My SIL said she finds those plastic containers at the sporting goods store too.

That was my thought. I bought 5 of them the other day. The guy says they have them all the time and they go on sale around christmas also. There was also a deeper one in green or red that had a paper divider in it for ornament storage. I bought one of those and put thread in it. It was just alittle bit more than the clear ones.

My quilt group uses Pizza boxes. Most places will give you one extra if you buy a pizza or sometime free, if you tell them what you want it for! I love them!
