Do you read the 'Peanuts' cartoon?
When I am "playing" on my laptop, I sometimes feel like PigPen,
the little boy with the clouds of dust and mess on and around him.
This should not be.
I need a container to hold these things
AND
it needs to be convenient to carry around.
At first, I found this pretty tin.
After washing and looking at it carefully,
I decided it did not fit my needs...
see below?
I have some small books/notebooks.
This is what needs to be contained. |
So I went looking again.
Just when I thought that nothing would work,
I stumbled across this carrier.
A view of my laptop carry-all. |
At the time, it had various screws, nails and dust in it.
Why wasn't I using this at all?
Oh yeah, The dividers were broken.
No matter how many times
I have tried to superglue them down,
they break off right away.
BUT
I have a new weapon in my glue arsenal....
Gorilla Glue.,
Gorilla Glue in front of my antique bowl with my collection of cookie cutters. |
The only unfortunate side effect: the glue plumps up while it dries.
It did leave a small bit of glue around in the interior.
Next, I needed something small to corral my flash drives.
Ah ha!!
It was on my hutch, right in front of me...
A little metal creamer from Good will.
Let's fill this up!
It looks good! |
It's working out perfectly!
I love this solution because:
1. I shopped at home! Therefore, I did not need to go out and spend any money to look
this good.
2. The carrier matches things I already have in my home.
3. It's lightweight and easy to carry.
4. It easily holds everything I need.
Now that's fun! Go get one little bitty area cleaned out and cleaned up today.
You can do it!!
