I'm All About Organizations ~ I Love These Cubes



Would you just look at those awesome storage containers!   If you know me at all, you know I am all about being organized!  I was so excited when I received these cubes from Shoplet to try out and let them know what I thought about them.

At first glance I thought all four of them were the same. I quickly discover that even though they were all made of durable, translucent plastic each cube had different features.  Some had drawers, dividers and one was just a cube with lots of space!  Clips were included which were used to join the cubes together.  Although no directions were given, it was quite easy to put together.  Each container has an indentation that makes it easier to slide the clips onto for joining cubes together. It's up to you how you want them arranged!   All of them can be clipped together to make one storage unit or they could be left as an individual cube.  If you find you need more cubes, they can be added easily. 

This is the Deflect-o Two Drawer Cube Organizer (DEF350101) .  It has two clear drawers that slide out easily.  Since the drawers are clear, it is easy to locate the items you are looking for without opening the drawers.   


Next is the  Deflect-o Desk Cube (DEF350301).  It is quite similar to the Two Drawer Cube Organizer. This cube however has four drawers instead of two.  They are large enough to store items like rubber bands, paperclips, erasers, etc. 





I love the Deflect-o Desk Cube with X Dividers (DEF350201).   It is also made of translucent plastic with X dividers.  These dividers can be removed easily if you decide that you don't want to use them.  However I found that it makes a great holder for my pens, markers, scissors, and highlighters. 



The last cube is the Deflect-o Desk Cube (DEF350401) .  Once again, the cube is translucent just like the other three.    This one does not have any drawers or dividers.  It is a completely open cube.  This is the one I found most challenging to fill.  I personally would have preferred the option of adding dividers.   So far, no matter what I have tried to store in this cube has not worked for me.  I'm still trying to figure out the perfect use for it.



Don't you just love it!   If you are looking for  office supplies  or  promotional products you definitely want to check them out!

Angels By My Side


I have so many books to read...and so little time this summer to read them.  I finally finished this book today. 



The author, Betty Malz, starts the book with this quote, “This book is dedicated to bringing hope to the helpless and offering help to the fearful.”  I knew from that quote that this book was going to have my full attention.  I was definitely not disappointed!

I have always been fascinated with the topic of angels, but I had never taken the time to research them.  I was excited to see that Betty Malz did that research for me in this book!  

She wrote about different occasion in the Bible where angels appeared. You will be amazed about how many times that God has sent His angels.   Protecting angels, rescuing angels and messenger angels all played any important part of the scriptures.  Until I read this book, I hadn't given much thought to the different roles and purposes that angels have. 

Throughout the book, the author writes about the real life experiences of many different people who have been visited by angels.  I must admit there were a few that I had a hard time believing.  However, when I considered the power of God, I realized that I have no reason to doubt the power of the Almighty.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning more about angels.
