The Great and Random Ramblings of Cannwin

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Trying to pack with kids in the house is like trying to shoot a target with your foot in the way. "What are my books doing in that box?" "I'm packing them." "WHAT! NOOOOOOOOO. Please, Mommy, please I love those books, don't take them away." "I'm not taking them away, I'm putting them in a box until we get to South Dakota." "But I love them." For the love! This entire process is becoming painful, I think I'd rather shoot a target with my foot in the way. And then, to top that all off the 'What's in that box?' has spread to my husband. This was a common problem the last time we packed. Each box filled was followed by the other person checking the garbage or 'give away' boxes. He thinks I don't need things I really do, and that he needs things he really doesn't. ;) Like those books we bought at the Library book sale that no one has so much as opened since we got them, over a year ago.
