My birthday is tomorrow! Yeah me! I know a lot of people are not big on birthdays, but I am. I love birthdays, whether mine or someone else's. I don't know why...I just do.
A while back, Hubby asked me what I wanted and I couldn't think of a thing. I guess that means that I have all I need and that is a good thing. But, I did tell Hubby I would like a tackle box. Does that mean that I want to go fishing? Alas, no, it does not. Though I have gone fishing a time or two in my life. But, I have another purpose in mind. So, Hubby got me a tackle box. Here it is:
You may be asking yourselves, if I don't want to fish, what do I want with a tackle box. And you may be asking why there are two Wilton frosting knives in front of the tackle box. Well, I will tell you. I love to decorate cakes. But I have kept my decorating stuff in this box:
I wanted the knives for frosting cakes (Hubby got those for me, too.) and the tackle box to hold my decorating stuff. I have stored all of it in the above box, which works fine. Except that I kept all my decorator tips in a ziploc bag and had to dig through looking for the one I wanted to use. Or line them up on the counter. I had seen a Wilton caddy and thought it was great, But they cost more than I am willing to spend. But I love tackle boxes. I keep my makeup in one and have for years.
So here is what my decorating stuff looks like now:
I love how organized it all is! Now I am ready to decorate some cakes!
I took today off to have a 3 day birthday weekend and Hubby and I went out to lunch, then did a little shopping. Tomorrow Hubby and I will be going to lunch with his mom. Then I plan to relax for the rest of the weekend. Ahhhhh....birthdays and weekends, my favorite!

What a great idea! I have all my tips and stuff jammed in bags and containers all over because of how expensive the container was. This is so going on my Christmas list

Great idea! Ive seen these used for craft supplies, etc.. Too! Have a wonderful birthday! :)
Tackle boxes are great for lots of things besides tackle. I used one for a bead box when I was a teen and then I had one for my colored inks and nibs for my art supplies. I got Daughter one for her make-up years ago too.
They really soak you on these "specialized" "fill in the blank" organizing boxes some art/craft companies sell.
Loving the frugalness of the lowly tackle box!lol
And have a GREAT BIRTHDAY this weekend!!! Hugs Frances!!
Glad I could add an idea to your Christmas wish list, Judy. I love tackle boxes!
Thanks for stopping by, Carla.
Sluggy, tackle boxes are the best for makeup. I used one even before someone thought to make special ones for makeup. Too bad I didn't market my idea. I might be rich!
thanks for the birthday hub!
