An Ordinary Old Box?

I pulled this box out of the recycling bin. 

I am often digging stuff out of the garbage or recycling bin, much to hubby's chagrin. 

I wanted something to store my alphabet stickers in.....

This box looked pretty good, so I pulled out my drawer of patterned scraps, mixed up some white glue and water and slapped on some papers with no plan in mind.

It needed something so I glued some pictures and quotes on also.

Some things are from magazines, a book marker from my grandson's Sunday school lesson, and some cards meant for ATCs.

I like it.

It's eclectic.

It's a cute place to store my stickers.

It was free for me to make.

I find the activity to be therapeutic.

It is inspirational, even though you may not be able to read some of the quotes I added.

I like doing these decoupage projects and have done several. 

If my granddaughter wants to make one we'll cover  a box for her....and the boys too if they want to join in.

As I am going through old magazines I am ripping out pages that I think the kids might like (and some for me too.)

If I can find some appropriate rocks we'll cover rocks!!!

Have fun!

Plain ol' plain is BORING!
