Bucket of Cords

First off, apologies for the delay in the posting of how I used the cute little bucket from Red Hill General Store. For some unknown reason, my Internet is not working today...so I'm typing this in the movie theater with my kids while they are watching Cars 2....with one of their friends...cause my iPad doesn't get 3G service anywhere near where we live....but it does in town.

So like my fellow Real Farmwives, I really liked my cute little bucket from Red Hill General Store...








First I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for, though. I thought about as a popcorn tub or a drink tub for yummy some goodness...like my chocolate martini mix from Dove Chocolate Discoveries....









I thought about using it to corral my boys' clean socks...









But then I finally decided to use it as a storage solution for all of my phone and electric cord pieces. Are you as overwhelmed by all these in your house as I am?







This is just the tip of the iceberg. There are TONS more where those came from...and I hate to get rid of any because they all seem to have different ends and I'm afraid I might NEED one some day...

I wanted to put it up with the cords for my computer that I corralled with my bags from my 31 Gifts party...

But I thought it needed something else...a remind to the man fo the house as to what was inside....

So I modge podged some lettering on it after I cut them out with my Cricut and my Cheerful Additions cartridge from Creative Memories...







Ta da! And here's what's inside....









I 'm very grateful for Red Hill General Store for providing me the bucket to review, but my thoughts, opinions and uses are of course my own.

Please head over to the realfarmwivesofamerica.com for a chance to win another fabulous Red Hill product and be sure to stop by to visit my fellow farmwives on Facebook to see how the rest of the ladies put their buckets to use.
