How do you store your movies

About 8 years ago I had a storage problem
with how to store my movies - not music cd's.
No one has room enough
in their home to store a large collection - at least
I do not. My home is very small. I had to find a way
to keep my movies and still be able to store them.
This is what I came up with.
I have stored my movies - not music cd's-
I mean movies. I do not buy any music cd's.
Believe me you will love these binders.
Each one of these binders
holds 250 cd's. You can purchase them at Staples
for a mere $15.00. Staples still carries them.
They are made of canvas.
I have tied little gold ribbons on my zipper so
the zipper is easier to find. This helps for when your
binder gets full. My sister has a huge collection of
movies because movies are her pasttime. Recently
she was telling me about the clutter with these movies.
So I told her how I store mine. She surprised me when
she told me that she liked this idea. She has organized
her movies by comedy, mystery etc.. Where she used to
have a large bookcase full of movies - she now has
4 binders for scary movies. She has 1 binder for
comedy etc... Now she has room on the bookcase
to put plenty of other stuff. Good job Sue!
 I only have about 8 more pages before this binder is
complete. It will still take me another year to finish this binder.
 The box that you see holds all of my movie titles.
I am not yet ready to recycle them into the dumpster.
I dont know why. It must be a mental thing??
 This is what they look like in the bookcase.
Neat!
Many hugs & kisses sent your way!

Winter White

I am getting there! I was
late putting up my tree. This year
I have dressed it in white with small
touches of red. I did not put an Angel
on the tree. I decided to leave it bare.
I think there are enough ornaments to
keep it busy that you hardly notice
it isn't there.
 This pic was taken at night. I had a hard time
snapping them. Nearly all of them were blurry.
 This pic shows some of my ornaments. There are
white bells with red ribbons, white flowers, white bulbs and white
christmas tree and white snowmen ornies.
I love white or clear lights.And that it the only
ones that I ever use. The packages are wrapped
with christmas paper with red words that say
'Merry Christmas!'
 Only 4 pics took. 2 in the daytime and 2 at night.
I did not decorate the outside of my house this year.
Generally every year I decorate with many wreaths.
I even decorate my little stair bannister. But
this year I got lazy.
Merry Christmas!
Many hugs and kisses to you all.
