Well, after I wrote my first entry, I had to do something. I'd been planning to buy a small plastic storage box to hold the craft supplies my son got for Christmas, but I decided to move some things out of another box instead. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the box I had in mind. What I did find was a hat box my in-laws had rescued from the curb on the day their neighbors moved. I'd kept it because I liked how it looked, but I'd forgotten it was still in the garage. The sketch pad doesn't fit in it, but the other craft supplies do.
The plastic box I nearly bought would have cost $6.35 with tax, so my $20 is now $26.35.
