I finished with the altered box




So, today I've been a bit on the UN-organized side.
Rose and I repaired the washer today. The water mixer froze last Saturday night, but due to that nasty ole' bug, I just didn't feel like dealing with it. So I called A-1 about buying the part Friday, $35 plus tax...... THEN I remembered my friend Big John and his wife Susan gave me their old machine for parts. Now "ain't" that cool??? So Rose & I put on our insulated underclothes (the washer is in the garage) and WE fixed that puppy today. I'm washing the 5th load now, we stripped the beds and such. We make a pretty good handy woman team....Mother/Daughter Team for the day award....tee hee hee


NOW for the fun stuff. Michael's had their ROCK STAR paper on sale, and I had been really wanting it for a long time, but just could not pay full price for it.
I took one of those display boxes from Costco and altered it. Now I have the neatest little storage container, right now I have my rubber stamps lined up in it. I plan to do a series of these. I covered it with the matte Mod Podge. ANYWAY, take a look, let me know what you think, it was so much fun.

I'm doing lovely. I am glad you left me a comment. How are you doing? I am going to have to add you as a link to the blogs I visit now. And that box is super cute! You will have to come into the scrapbook store soon. Just make sure you come in on a friday night crop or a Saturday, so that I will be there.
