Cartridges organized and boxes re-purposed!


I got this awesome CGull tote from SmartBuyGal from the Cricut Messageboard.  I started out on ebay and did not realize it was her at first!! 


It holds 72 carts with plent of room in the middle for the booklets and overlays!  Both sizes unzip.  The hard part was how to organize them knowing I am going to continue to add to my collection.  I put the Fonts together, the Solutions & Lites together and then the shapes on the other size.

They sent me the wrong bad on accident ~ this is the Expresssion tote.  This was resolved very quickly as I decided to purchase it ~ seriously the customer service was quick and I received a return label immediately!  I just decided not to send it back LOL!

Now what to do with all of those empty boxes.  Hmmmm....let's put them in the Block Area of my in-home daycare!  The kids had so much fun with them!  At first they filled up the boxes with Potato Head pieces and shook them.  Then they started building with them.

I recycled the inserts and I kept my Lite boxes.  Those will come in handy when I loan out a cartridge or two.  I just had an idea to decorate the Lite boxes....
