Happy Tuesday, blogging buddies!
I am enjoying a wonderful week with my parents

My mom and I have been shopping
{how cute are these shoes?}

gardening
{aka attacking the weeds in my garden}
and watching some Korean television together

Ok, ok – now onto the real reason for this post 🙂
Today I am linking up with my bud, Holly, to share a fun and easy way to store, organize, and manage puzzles!
Last year, my students LOVED to do puzzles – but left my collection in shambles. So, at the end of the year, I had some workers (aka staff kids hanging around) put together all of the puzzles and throw out the ones that were missing pieces. (There’s nothing worse than working diligently to complete a puzzle and then have three holes in the your masterpiece).
We threw out 75% of my puzzles.

I bought these puzzles from the Dollar Tree
and the Target $ Spot

Each puzzle comes in a little cardboard box:
I cut off the top of the box:
I put each puzzle into a zip log and
stapled the cover onto the bag:

On the back, I put this label:

I printed them on Shipping Labels (Avery 5164)
I’m hoping that this will serve as a
reminder to take care of the puzzles.
