Hi, I'm very excited to be participating in my very first blog hop. I hope you will be inspired by the projects you'll be seeing today. You should have come here from my mom Rhonda's blog, if not please start at the beginning on Michelle's blog. I know you will want to see all the talent and inspiration there is today to Go Green.
For my project I decided to repurpose an empty box left over from when my baby sister got her new hearing aids. My mom didn't want to throw it away and it was just sitting in the closet, so I used it to make a nice box for my treasures.
Here is the box before I redid it.
Here is the top of the box. I used scraps of paper from my mom's stash to make this box. The flowers are some from her stash also and weren't being used. She helped me write my name with glitter.
Here's the front of the box. The ribbon is some I got on clearance at a local store. The lace was a find at the DI.
Here is the inside of the lid.
And the whole inside of the box.
Have a great day.

Hi Abby! Hey, congratulations on playing in your first blog hop! I hope it is the first of MANY more - they are so much fun, and you get to meet fantastic people! Your project ROCKS! I love recycling treasure boxes - I have since I was a kid, and I still USE some of those boxes! I love the colours you have used - I just finished a card in the same colours and flowers, which will be on my blog soon. You picked a wonderful image to use for your creation... thank you for sharing it! Keep creating!
