A box! Not sure what used to be in it. Cigars, Port, Jellies Babies, who knows? Sister-in-law gave it to me. We're cat sitting her cats for the next fortnight, while she flies off to somewhere sunny. People are always giving me boxes. Usually Cardboard and usually empty. But this one looks interesting!! I want to do something with it. Paint it, embellish it, stick things on it and keep little crafty things inside it. Coz it's nice, in't it??
I love the little catch. I might take that off first, and put it back when I've finished. But first, I wanna collect 'things' to go on it. Not sure what yet. Any ideas welcome!
So this is what's on my desk this Wednesday, at One in the morning. What's on yours? Pop over to Julia's blog Stamping Ground to see what's on everybody
else's workdesk... If you haven't done it before, you'll be surprised, in fact, you'll wanna join in too! I'm at work. This is on timer and Hubby said he'd link me coz he's at home... (hahahaha...I won't put money on it!)

Hi Lyn Love the digi as always and what a fab box what about keeping things like promarkers in it or something like that but I'm sure you'll come up with something
ReplyDeleteJacki xx
Have not posted a WOYWW ...just a proud nana one ..but thought I would drop by a few friends.
ReplyDeleteHaving a catch up .... What a fab box...mason is so cute in that tire and what a yummy supper. We had lydl haggis instead of a butchers one and it was just to our taste ...not too spicy ... and 1/4 of the price lol
I really love your new box and look forward to seeing what you're gonna do with it. :-)

Hi Lyn I found the site it was Magical monday challenge and every card you make for them has to have a fairy angel or dragon on and I love those images lol
ReplyDeleteJacki xx
Love the box, looking forwarde to seeing what you do with it. Hugs Pam
ReplyDeleteFabulous box - take your time - it will let you know what it wants to be! Maybe just do one surface a week and have a journal box instead of a book!
ReplyDeleteSarah (sasa)
thanks for the mouse -- he's adorable! And I love your box -- I have a box with a catch just like that (but the box is different). I have a thing for boxes too -- you never know what you might find when you open a box!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this cutie!!
ReplyDeleteoooo thats a bit gorgeous, is it big enough for pencils? i would love my pencils in proper boxes instead of tins.

ReplyDeleteLove the box - you must be a great one to give gifts to (like my kids - always liked the boxes just as much ;) How about put a bird on it? I only say that because I just finished watching this video and ROFL http://www.ifc.com/videos/portlandia-put-a-bird-on-it.php
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteOooooh an empty box. Such potential. What ever it will contain, it must have some bling! Have fun and show us when its done...

Ooooh yes, beautiful box. I love boxes too and I see a colored image centered on top framed with lace, a bunch of roses in one corner and flourishes all around. LOL Can't wait to see what you do with it. Thanks for the cute freebie!

What a fantastic box, can't wait to see it all decorated.
ReplyDeleteOoo vintage decoupage images is what I would put on the outside. On the inside, hmm, well I would probably do some of my delicate crafties, or maybe special stamps, just not sure. Love the little mousy, he is too cute, thanks Spyder!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute valentine mouse. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePoor bird is right...but since it was filmed on the West Coast the bird must be a member of SAG. I'm sure it was only play acting, since there are unions involved. I'm also sure that your box will be gorgeous as everything you do is! Have a creative week girlie!
ReplyDeleteStill #8 ;)
Very nice box! THanks for the mouse with hearts! Vickie #59
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely gorgeous box...so many possibilities!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks so much for another super adorable image! Did I ever tell you, I just love hunting for the little spider in all your images?...I don't see one in this one though?
Happy WOYWW!! :D
ƸӜƷ...x♥Tracey♥x...ƸӜƷ

ReplyDeletemmm Jelly belly box how yummy is that ... cute image you've created too
ReplyDeletehugs Nikki #43
Beautiful box! I have no idea what you can do with it though, I collect stuff to alter but cos I've never done it before I don't have the confidence to try, so they just sit around and collect dust!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome box. Your little mouse digi is super cute.
ReplyDeleteI left you an award over on my blog, so come on by and pick it up. :)

I love that box just as it is, and I would probably use it to store pens or pencils in to look posh. I like wood as it is, then I can stroke it as I go past.
ReplyDeleteoooh that box is gorgeous... I have...box envy ROFL
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab looking box i would use it to store pro markers in it looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is your 59th comment this week! Lovely box - won't make suggestions of how to decorate because we all have different tastes and you'll probably think yeeeuk!! Still, I look forward to seeing what you do with it and what you put inside :) Love the mouse image - will be great for kids' birthday cards so thank you for making it available. Elizabeth #60
ReplyDeleteThe mouse is so cute! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn, I am sure you will create something wonderful on the box. I think some of Tim Holtz little metal frames with family pics on it would look nice for a vintage look.
ReplyDeleteBy the way my Hubby is blaming you for me going to the market and getting a Haggis (LOL)
Keep Well, Chris
Lyn,
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a cigar box that beautiful before. I wonder if it was an old jewelry box. It has a gorgeous clasp on it, too. Being a lover of wood, I can't tell you I would paint it, but I love it. Sorry I didn't visit last week. As you read, I was in crisis mode. Happy belated WOYWW from #10.
Oh what a yummylicious box! Can't wait to see it decorated. I am sure you will find just the perfect stuff to put in it...lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek and sharing, hugs Marjo #7
I love your mouse, thank you
ReplyDeletethat is a wonderful box! i love it when people pass on stuff they don't need and to me it's such a treasure. your hubby will link you?! did he? amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with that box? Happy [LATE} WOYWW!
