Now that is lazy! lol Anyway, I had a pen pal at that time that called me- she was in town, and wanted to meet-I was so embarrassed about the tree we took it, ornaments and all, and put it in the carport storage so she wouldn't see it. lol Now I take it down on Epiphany, sometimes a bit earlier. ;)Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902462980319045892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-37068250606569259682012-01-15T11:28:00.699-08:002012-01-15T11:28:00.699-08:00You sure are an organized person...so unlike mysel...You sure are an organized person...so unlike myself. <br />So my ABCD pattern finds yet another talented stitcher!

Currenty I use two steamer trunks, two flat plastic boxes and 3 or 4 smaller plastic shoeboxes. And my Dickens village resides in their own original boxes in the top shelf of my kitchen cabinets. You accumulate a lot when you've maintained a household for over 41 years, I keep trying to "share" with my three children, now adult, but only one took me up on the offer, taking everything that had been made and bought for him specifically and a few dozen more favorites. And my daughter did take all the ones specifically bought and made for her but not a single extra. And my youngest son just said "Bah, humbug!" I should leave the whole collection to him in my will!rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141923797221351378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-52432383852223258162012-01-13T07:49:50.501-08:002012-01-13T07:49:50.501-08:00Technically your tree really wasn't up too lon...Technically your tree really wasn't up too long.

We use basically the same method, wrapping the ornaments in paper and storing them in boxes. But not nice plastic ones, just cardboard.
