What a pretty "cook" an ever so pretty cookies. Wish I had such a wonderful helper. Somehow I get the feeling that the beautiful cookies did not last long!

We are on day 3. :) Marqueta, I love violets! I made a tincture from violets a few years back. I want to make another one this year. I did not get that one strong enough. Leslie, thanks so much for introducing me to it! Tracy, I actually encountered that very situation yesterday, although some of these cereal boxes are pretty large, like the very largest Cheerios box you can buy, so even my Story Starters book fits in the box. That said, if something won't fit, I put a little note in the box and we have a school "display" shelf in the hallway on which I stand the book or item required. So she would read the note and then go to the shelf-top and find the book required. Lynn Sandra, we are really enjoying the system here. We are on day 3. :)

How pretty and fun! I know the plastic boxes will not work for us because of having 5 children (hmmm...60 boxes!) and space issues. I saw that one mom is using envelopes and I love your "cereal boxes". What do you do if using the envelopes or cereal boxes when you have a large item or a shared item like an Usborne History book that my girls share. If I use the envelope system I certainly wouldn't be able to fit their books in those. Do you just sticky note stuff. A little confused. Hmmm.... Would love to hear suggestions. Have a blessed and beautiful day. Hi Lynn,

And I was just reading what Euell Gibbons said about violets; they have more vitamin C than anything else (the leaves)! So you'll be real healthy, I bet! Love, Marqueta Dear Lynn,
