{Post #75} Money Box


It's a wonder I get anything finished!  Every decision I make is monumentous to me.  Just today, my husband and I finally talked through our children's Christmas gift list.  We decided to spend $65 on each child.  We are giving "just" the money to two of our kids.  One of them is getting a tiny something from us, so we will give her a check soon.  The other has a peculiar habit of getting his extra money in one-dollar bills and putting it in his safe.  I asked him why he did that.  He said it looked like more that way.  

So here is what I did for his $65 in cash.  I got 65 one-dollar bills from the bank.  I emptied out a boutique tissue box and saved 3 of the tissues.  Then I taped the bills to a toilet paper roll (which happens to fit perfectly in the box) and rolled the bills up.  I taped the last one to the third tissue and carefully placed the roll then the tissues in the box.  From all appearances, it looks like a regular box of tissues.  I'm going to write "Don't blow it all in one place" and print it on to make a label for the box.  I hope he finds it humorous!
