How to Organize Your Auto Insurance Papers

I haven’t bothered organizing my Auto insurance and Auto registration papers into one place before. I didn’t really think of it until we needed them all at once when my husband (thank goodness it was not me) reversed out of our drive-away with a car door open and side swiped our other car at the same time. We were left with 2 cars damaged and one un-driveable as the door hung off. We had to find all the insurance papers whilst still kicking ourselves in the head as such a silly (expensive) mistake. I am not sure why I couldn’t stick it up with Duct tape but apparently the insurance wouldn’t cover me for that? What! Don’t they know how versatile duct tape is?

Meantime we have been waiting for 3 weeks for the door to come in and be put back onto the car. We have one week to go till it is back from the repair shop. When that one comes back the other car will go in. We didn’t have hire car cover in our insurance policy which means I have been having to take my husband to the train station as part of the morning school run. Not really a major issue but he is always late getting ready which means the kids get late for school.

By late I mean before the bell but with only minutes to spare. I like to be early when I arrive somewhere to allow for natural disasters, broken down cars, attacks by UFO’s and the driving over a 4 inch chisel as we experienced last week in the last car standing which sat at the tyre repair store for 48 hours (whole other story).

We are having bad run with cars at the moment but at least now I can find all my insurance papers in one-spot. Yeah!

Ghost crafts are a lot of fun for kids to make and they’re a way to get into Halloween crafting that’s not really scary. Here are some easy ghost crafts for you to make with kids, whether it’s your kiddo at home or a class full.

I love this simple ghost made with a pompom or cotton ball covered in paint and used as a stamp. This one is from Crafts on Sea and you can have kids just hold the pompom or hold it with a clothespin to make it a little less messy.

Use cotton balls and printable facial expressions to make these silly ghosts from Housing a Forest. The post includes the printable templates or you can just add googly eyes.

Little fabric ghosts are a classic, whether you make them with white fabric or fall or Halloween fabric. Buggy and Buddy shows you how to make these little ghosts with a few cute embellishments. Just make one or two or make a garland or Halloween tree full of them.

There always seem to be paper plates lying around, and this paper plate ghost from Crafts by Amanda is a fun one. There’s a printable in the post for the facial features and arms, or kids can draw their own faces (and leave off the arms if you want to keep it simple).

What kid doesn’t love peeling dried glue? Turn that impulse into a craft with these glue ghosts from Friends Art Lab, and don’t miss the tip in the post that helps you turn these into window clings.

This handprint ghost in the window craft from Glued to My Crafts is so cute and easy for kids to make alone or with help. The post shows lots of variations so it would be fun to make these in a classroom and let each kiddo design their own “window” or add embellishments.

These sweet little tissue paper ghosts from Red Ted Art are actually mini pinatas, but you can just make it as a ghost without anything inside if you’d rather.

And you know I love a good kids’ sewing project so I can’t resist sharing these little felt ghost puppets from The Craft Train. Kids can sew them by hand or you can make them out of paper if you don’t want to try sewing them. The template for the ghosts is free to download, and you can also just make little softies instead of puppets if you like.
