I had four storage tubs of miscellaneous junk such as tins, gift boxes, plastic containers, a valentine chocolate box (empty, of course), cardboard spools, bottles, and so on. I had plans for all of these items but my original intentions are long lost. If I really was going to use it, I would have by now.
There is fifth tub which is full of projects I've been meaning to finish. Here is an example:
This odd little box was a clearance item at Hobby Lobby. I loved the box, but not the "design" on the front. What the heck is it anyhow?? A worm? A skull?? Any ideas?
To cover up the worm-skull-thingy, I pasted this card I made at my monthly stamp club over it and voila! A useful box, which is pretty to look at also.
Yay, I can check this unfinished project off my list! Now...what to put in the box...more junk??
I've been making my own Christmas cards for about ten years now. I'm starting to get a little burnt out on it and envy those people who do boxed cards or photo cards. I know I'll have some disappointed people on my mailing list when I discontinue the handmade cards, but one must consider one's own sanity!
Here it is Christmas Eve and I finally got the last of my cards out.
