But oooh, what's this waiting for me when I've finished?
This box started off life as a competition win. It arrived on my doorstep containing cereals and shortbread and biscuits and yummy yummies. Then it became Ruby's imaginary car/plane/cot/pram/bus... you name it. Two years later with my beady eye never leaving it - I noticed it had gone unplayed with for a month or two so it's reclaimed this week. Now it's home to my pitiful paint stash. (Need more!)
But don't you think it needs to be made prettier? So do I! That's a project for these nice warm days outside methinks!What's on your work desk this week? Want to play along? Then make sure and linky up with Jul!a Holtz forthwith and then we'll all be able to come have a rummage round your work space.
Thanks as always for stopping by :)
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the box.
ReplyDeleteHave a feeling it just might be wanted back when you've prettied it up :-)

Oh Carmen, that is a gorgeous box! Itching to be decorated - have fun doing that. Thank you for your comment on my blog - you can say things like that any time you like, friend!!!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it transformed :-) Think I may show my paint stash one week, but I do have old glass paints (the sort you can peel off) which for some reason though they are no longer used I never think about getting rid of them!

ReplyDeleteHi Carmen, got a migraine so missed WOYWW - infact lost a full 24 hours, am now post migraine haze and dysphasic - making even less sense than usual... love the box - are you going to woodburn into it? I use a ten pound soldering iron from B&Q ( watch your fingers tho'!)

Great box (and that was some prize!). I'm looking forward to the transformation.
ReplyDeleteOooh have fun decorating that box - I have a mailbox that I have been looking at for about two years now that needs a bit of attention too. Must do that someday.
ReplyDeleteOoh, get in there and get that box decorated, It'll look fab.

I once had a box, my little girl took it to play with...like you I reclaimed it when she was done....unfortunately she claimed it back once I had finished decorating it! I had to go out and get another box lol.
