Welcome!!
Hello and Welcome!
All of my artwork is available to order, just send me a note! Artwork that is already printed and ready to ship is available at my Etsy Shop, link to the right!
This post might be too late for those who take their Christmas decorations down right after Christmas. For those who wait until the New Year here is a super way to store your Christmas tree lights. I don't remember if I actually had this great idea a couple years ago or if I saw it somewhere but I am sharing it with you all.
Save the cardboard tubes that your wrapping paper comes on. They are the perfect size to hold 1 strand of Christmas tree lights. No more tangled mess next holiday season.
Cut a slit in each end of the tube to hold the plug end and the light end of each strand.
Start by securing the plug (or other end whichever you prefer) end to one end of the tube and start winding the lights around the tube to the other end and secure the other end of the light strand in the slit on the end of the tube.
Your lights are now neat and easily stored upright until next year!

Great tip Christine! Mine are totally tangled up every year so I'll remember this one as tubes become available.
Awesome pics.

Hi Donna! Yeah, I used to have tangled up lights every year until I did this trick. The tubes last a while too ... I have used these same tubes for 3 years now.
Thanks for the comment on my pictures .. I am assuming you are talking about the pictures in my Reflecting on 2009 post. My goal is to make more time to get my pictures up and have some printed.
What a great idea, and one I wish I would've had when we took our tree down. I'll sure remember this for next year, thanks for linking up!
Too funny! I use a similar method. :)
