| I bought the box and some of the supplies awhile ago, but I put off buying the paper to decorate the box until Sunday and of course, I had a lot of other things to do so I was very pressed. The selection of holiday papers was slim at Michael's, and truth be told, I wasn't thrilled with what I was left with. I am not a scrapbooker so I didn't just have decorative papers around for this project. It still tuned out ok anyway, though, imo. I used a purpleish sheet, a red and hot pink sheet and a solid purple sheet to try to go with the colors in the Dollar Store supplies I already had. I used the pink and red sheet to line the bottom of the box. I used a big piece of the other sheet for the inside and placed one of my daughter's personalized gift tags on it. The gift tags were purchased a long time ago. |
 |
| Once lined, I put all the stuff inside. I placed small heart stickers on the pencil sharpener and the large paper clips. |

| CLOSE UP OF THE CONTENTS |
|
| FRONT COVER OF THE BOX. Since I am not a scrapbooker, I didn't have a lot of stickers around to doll it up. I think the letter stickers are good, although, I was going to use all lower case letters and my daughter told me I shouldn't because her teacher would think she didn't know names have to be capitalized. LOL! I couldn't argue with that. :D I happened to have a few puffy hearts and swirlie stickers that went color wise so I added them. Ms. Davis is an excellent teacher so I hope she likes the gift. It's the thought that counts, right? |
