  • Hi friends! I thrifted a big box of mailing envelopes and I made a handy organizer using just 1 envelope! I wonder what else I can do with them? Come back and find out.

    Good find on the envelopes ❤ I remember a few families I knew growing up that had those salt and pepper shakers ❤ At 60 yrs old I'm finding that A LOT of things from them are antiques 😂❤. Beautiful papers ❤ Great idea for those envelopes ❤ Haven't used that closure in a while. Thank you for reminding me about it ❤❤ Since you have so many, maybe cut up one to use for the accordion slides

    I love today's project. The paper pack is perfect! I'm jealous as your city (location) has a great thrift store. The thrift stores in my area NEVER have treasures like yours. I like to forage around at garage sales but I prefer estate sales. Not only do I find better stuff, I "tour" the house while there! I've been in some nice houses but I've also been in some houses that make me wonder: "what were they thinking"? Pink shag carpet just doesn't do anything for me!!! lol, lol, lol.....

    • @lenaecreates
      @lenaecreates  6 місяців тому

      We love estate sales too! Be been to several great ones in the last few weeks. My mom use to drag me to them when I was a kid. I had no idea she was teaching how to find great treasures!

    This is so cute & can be used for so many things! But, I really don’t want to buy another thing! If I were to say I’m busting out of the seams with craft supplies would be wildly underestimating my situation! So, I’m trying to figure out how to just use paper, of which I own a ridiculous amount! If I can figure it out, I’ll be happy. It doesn’t seem like it would be hard, but my math skills are truly lacking! 😂😂 Great video too!

    New to your channel! 😊 Just wanted to say you provide a happy medium in that you don't go too fast or too slow with your instructions! I personally lose interest if creator's go 100mph, or if they move so incredibly slow. There's a lot to be said regarding the overall presentation during the process. I also struggle with ZERO discussion/ verbal instructions and only loud music playing 🤭 😊. Beautiful little storage pocket. 👍
