I'm no fool

 Happy April Fools day everyone. I hope that you  make it through the day without having any tricks played on you. If you don't, then make them be pleasant tricks.

To show that I'm no fool, I've got a clever and useful recycling project I did recently. I showed you the craft tote that I bought myself for my birthday. I have it partially filled and then decided it needed a little bit of organizing.

I buy this lunch meat at Walmart and have always saved the containers to use to send leftovers home with the kids if they were here for dinner.


Turns out they are the perfect size for my craft tote. I used several for different things and then labeled them using vinyl that I cut on my Cricut.


Four of them fit perfectly in one section of the tote with a little room left over to add other items.

There's already a lot of items in my tote but still room for plenty more.

  2. I use those for organizing and for tiny bits of left overs. they look so good in your bag. Mine have red lids though.. that bag is super great... there is one size of the lunch meat that is perfect for tea bags and chewing gum and mouth mints. they stack well and easy to get out.. the problem is mine are old, bob will not eat that lunch meat any more.. and I can't eat it,

  5. Brilliant idea on how to repurpose those containers. We would keep them for the same reason that you did. For leftovers for the kids but I like your way better!. Very clever.

    I hope I have no jokes played on me today lol. I probably will fall for them.

  6. I hate April Fool's Day!!!!!!

    Cool idea you discovered!

    And I'd rather be using plastic for this, than for food. I'm 'spooky' and don't like food in plastic.

  10. Very clever idea and I am always on board for recycling. Didn't go anywhere to be pranked, though I saw someone on my local neighborhood app where one lady had found a 'puppy' in the backyard and considered it a Godsend for her son who was in love with said puppy. People's responses were, that's a kit and she replied no, it's not a kitten. There were about 30 people telling her it wasn't a puppy, before someone twigged and asked if this was an April Fool's joke, and it was. Cute photograph she had found online of a fox kit. Happy April to you Anni and I liked what you did with those containers :)
