Well we got very lucky yesterday, Earl fizzled out & all we got was heavy rain here, what a blessing! I know I had promised to post this a few days ago but we were away & Internet service was very slow, I was having a hard time uploading my pictures & didn't have a lot of time to spend on it, so I decided to wait till I got home. We cut our mini trip short because of the hurricane & let me tell ya, driving home was no fun in that heavy rain. Sometimes it was coming down in sheets & you could barely see the car in front of you, it was crazy! I was hoping to get ahead of the storm but the rain would lighten up & you would think oh finally but here comes another heavy pocket of rain. It was finally a little better about 15 miles from home but we managed to get home safe & sound. Today it's a gorgeous sunny day & its a dry 80 degrees & breezy.
This box that I altered was in our hotel room last April at Palazzo/Venetian in Vegas with a sewing kit, shower cap, cotton swabs & nail file inside & they replaced it every day so I ended up with 4 of these heavy duty boxes. When I was making these dividers & cutting out extras for the future, I thought this box would be great to house my supplies...so I set out to alter it! Didn't it come out great? I love it!
These cute little ducks are from Spellbinders Nestabilities & are so adorable! I added feet & colored their beaks & eyes. Mama's feet I used 5 petal punch, baby feet I used boho blossoms punch. I also used sticker alphabets & DP that I had on hand and my template that you see in the next photo was cut from a tissue box.
Pull the ribbon to open the box & all my pieces are inside ready to stamp & put together for the next baby. My template & instructions are inside too! Isn't it so darn cute?
Thanks for stopping by & peaking today. Have a great holiday weekend!

So adorable and such a great idea not to mention the repurposing of the box. way to go!
This is adorable-great use of the boxes. Hope you had a fun mini vacation.
Yup, Earl was a complete fizzle, all the hype for nothing.
Rita, I love the box that you made using the ducks from Spellbinders. It is so adorable. You always come up with wonderful ideas.

It is very cute, Rita! I love how you decorated this box!
Such a cute idea Rita! You decorated it so well and I love the alterations you made to the ducks. I'm glad to hear Earl didn't do much. I just wish you could send the rain here because we need it so badly. For the month of August, we only got 1/3 inch. Looks like a desert here. Best, Curt
