From the Publisher's Desk... Yes, You Too Can Enjoy a "Low-rent" Handmade Art Supply Just Like Mine -- here's how

Here's my right-hand "man" supply holder... Please scroll down for an aerial view -- ha!!....

A Midwest online comedian recently pointed out that Midwesterners don't like to part with their plastic containers. Instead, we save and reuse no matter how spaghetti-stained they may be inside!

Here I thought I was so clever re-purposing a large CASCADE dishwasher pod container for my art supplies complete with internal separators made from toilet paper rolls! In my eyes, it is ingenious and I love my low-rent creation. In fact, I use it daily.

My daughter-in-law, Kira, would have another descriptor for it. Her choice words would be -- "NO! That's so ghetto." LOL!!! Ghetto or not, it suits me just fine and I join the many thousands of legendary, recycle-minded Midwesterners who can't part with their Cool Whip containers. Why buy separate storage plastic ware when chances are the perfect one is simply waiting for you, right now, in your fridge. Just use your imagination! -- Lynne Kornecki, Publisher

ABOVE: Notice the handy-dandy toilet paper rolls inside which support items easily in the upright position. Feel free to copy my idea -- LOL!
