Just changed the sheets on my bed, this morning. As I was finishing up, and putting the pillow cases on the pillows, I find myself with an extra pillowcase again.

Why do I say again? For each set of sheets that I have, I also have 4 pillowcases. Either I bought 2 packages of pillowcases, or made 4 for each set. Whatever. However I only have 3 pillows on the bed. DH uses 2 and I use one. Even tho the bed is a king – those pillows fit nicely across.

Normally I would have a stack of extra pillowcases, but such is not the case.

Here are some ideas if you have extra pillowcases too:

• Line a dresser drawer – much better than paper and much prettier too
• Wrap decorations that you are ready to put away
• Store seasonal clothing if you don’t have a trunk to store them in
• Make a dresser scarf by putting a light batting inside and stitching down the edges
• Store old photo albums so they don’t become dusty
• Use for baby blankets and clothing to save for the next baby
• Baby books and rattles and such can be protected the same way
• Keep extra board games dust free – bring out when current board games have lost their excitement
• Protect photo frames that you are not currently using
• Wrap those projects you are working on to keep them clean

I’d love to hear your ideas too!
