Playing cards storage solution (containers from Ikea)

We play a lot of games in our family. Incidentally, this Monopoly Deal game is one of our favorites...

The bad thing about playing so many card games is that the box that the cards come in starts falling apart. I used to tape the box or simply put a rubber band around the cards, until I decided to put them in small storage boxes:

I simply cut the labels from the card boxes and taped them to the front of the plastic boxes. Each box holds the directions to the game and some paper and a pencil for keeping score:

The games our easy to find in our sea of other games, they are protected and everything we need to play is in the container. I got my containers at Ikea, but any small storage container will do!

I just love being organized. It's the little things ;-)
