Celebrate the Days Altered Box_ 09, originally uploaded by suezlou2003.

Okay, you guys already know, I have a serious fetish with boxes, I love to collect them, alter them and my boys know when giving gifts that all they have to worry about is the box it comes in! This box is a box of letters from K and Company. We will alter the box into a darling shadow box and make an accordion book that will fit inside. As a bonus . . . you will be able to keep all the letters in the box! Can't beat that!

Baby it's cold outside

The best thing about snow days is that I get to stay toasty warm inside and play with paper to my hearts content!! Finished up 2 projects yesterday and I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself.



The worst thing about snow days is my little dog hates cold. He hates snow, oh and also sleet, by the way he did I mention he doesn't like wind or freezing rain either? His personal preference is tucked inside the covers where it is at least 99 degrees. The challenge is to get him outside to do his business. This photo is from yesterday, this is before the storm! I haven't even tried to get him out of bed this morning!

Happy Snow Day St Louis!

You gotta watch this

I found this on my buddy Deanna's blog!
It's called
The Men of Xyron

My class next week!
