Simple Solution: Game Piece Bag

1.13.2013



I am a little OCD about game pieces. Okay, a lot OCD.

When I was young I would have special rubber bands, that I actually bought with my allowance, that I would use to make the game cards organized. Especially when it came to Monopoly. Communinty Chest cards...bundled. Chance cards...bundled. Property cards...bundled. Money...bundled. Game pieces in baggies.

So, today when I sat down to play Sorry for the first time with my kids I was appalled that there was no organization system. Not even a sad, little, white, cardboard box! Sheesh.

When we finished playing I spotted my sewing machine on the floor next to the Dining Room table (because I'm messy like that) and I got a great idea. I sewed a straight stitch up the middle of the ziplock baggie. Then the cards slipped perfectly into one side and the game pieces in the other. Brilliant! (if I do say so myself) 


I may or may not be obsessively sewing ziplock baggies for the next hour or two.  So don't call me, I'm busy.
