Teacher Appreciation Gift #1

Here is an embellished dollar store organizer/stationary box (love that store) that I cased from this blog: http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/2010/04/box-of-teacher-goodies.html

Incorporated one of my wire words into the design.


Tied a piece of upcycled blue jean denim to the handle (simple).

Closer shot of the wire word.

even closer.... LOL!

Being able to see where I glued the paper to the cover, I had to try and make it look better so also embellished the inside of the lid. My Saturday morning project is beginning to take a lot longer... but I like how it turned out. LOL!

Full view and notice that I lined the bottom of each space too, see, again... way more time than expected...

bent some paperclips into hearts and even altered the plain sticky notes... (seriously gettin way too carried away now!)

Made these the prior Saturday...

All wrapped up.
THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME (or do I just get too carried away in crafty craziness) :}
