I am making a concious effort to get organized. Everything in my house is "where it fits". We live in a very small townhouse and clutter seems to multiply! The basement is my downfall. When something is in the way it gets carried down to the basement never to be seen again. That is until I need something BEHIND off of that stuff. Christmas time is always basement cleaning time because we have to get to the 7+ cardboard boxes and totes that contain all of our holiday items. My ornaments are all scattered throughout boxes. Am I the only one who puts them in layers with stockings and tree skirts, and everything soft to keep them protected? Organizing them is something I never really thought of because by the time I put them away each year I am just ready to get it done and put back down in the basement where I then have to make room for them again. This year I am breaking the cycle. I play on picking up some other organization items for our holiday decorations and tools (wrapping paper,ribbons etc.). So when I put them back in the corner and forget about them until November at least I will be able to find what I am looking for! Then maybe I can move on to the rest of the basement. Well back to the subject at hand...
Vision Holiday Ornament Storage Box - Large
I recieved this chest and my first impression was "this is really small" since it came folded flat. I decided to pop it together (with the help of my beautiful blond assistant Piper). It was simple and once I saw how big it was assembled I had to give it a try. Not all of my ornaments are breakable. I have a lot that are wood or plastic that we have colected over the years. I was able to rest 3-5 of these together per compartment. Total with the glass bulbs, and the other ornaments I fit 68 ornaments in this 1 box! It has a nice sturdy hard lid to protect them when they are stacked.
Imagine my horror when I came back in from the kitchen and found the girls using it as a bench to watch TV! Piper is tiny so she is only 32lbs but PJ is my solid football player she is almost 60lbs so to see the 2 of them on it gave me a heart attack to say the least. There were family ornaments in there dating back to my husband's great grand parents in Germany! The lid didn't even bow and the sides held strong!

One thing I hate on Christmas morning is opening all of the packaging that the toys come in! Normally it involves scissors and cutting my hands with the sharp plastic. So when I saw this I was excited! It even came with a mini version so I can keep one at my desk!
