    I LOVE YOU! I'm tired of chasing thread under every table and chair in my house!

    Try Dollar General, too. I picked up a couple of things (not for sewing but for my office) for $50 and a dollar. Love that Dollar General!!

    And the color means it's unlikely to get lost somewhere!
    Great idea, Opal Jane :-D

    And the colors of these boxes are so pretty too! I don't think I could have too many of these school boxes.
