Donation Arm Rash from Trash Bags

Big School Win: Gift Wrap and Ribbons
As soon as I saw this tub, I wanted it. Not to use it but to rehome it to others who would. I’m helping a client declutter as they downsize to move. This tub was in their garage behind their door. They honestly kept forgetting about it unless we where in the garage looking at…
