Up-cycling & Friendship ~

I have been toting my paper-cutting supplies around in this cardboard box since…

well, the postal label on the box reads 2008 ~ so, since then.

I kept is because it's a sturdy little thing with a surprise inside:

...a pretty botanical interior!

so I was thinking…why not cover this to make it a bit more pretty to match the inside?

brown & cream

so I chose this cotton fabric to cover the box with…

((I think it works well with the print inside, don't you?))

got out the trusty Mod Podge and slathered-away...

here's how my little box looks now ~

all gussied up with it's new floral dress:

perfect box to keep my needful things ~

scissors, paper and works-in-progress now have a prettier place to rest ~

I love little boxes!

  Speaking of little boxes,

I forgot to share this with you ~ 

...a child's sized standing sewing box in thee perfect blue paint!!

((it was a birthday gift from Joan ))

S W OOOO N

 tiny little thing just waiting to be filled up! ha!!!

I absolutely adore it.

Thank you dear Friend Joan ~ tis perfect!
