Oy what a month! Here's my story, I am so dropping the ball lately and my blog has like one thing on it for the entire month!
I got sick with the head/sinus thing and then it went into my lungs and got double pneumonia. So instead of putting me in the hospital, I had a home health nurse come over 3x a day to give me a new IV bag because you always get more sick in the hospital, like hospital-acquired pneumonia. Come on! I live in California! You're not supposed to get sick here because you're not cramped up in confined spaces. Then, of course, I had my usual back work done and I'm going back in for more because it's not working and I just want a bunch of "caine" drugs injected. It's really that simple. That worked!
Soooooo, here's my project using a Kraft box. I have a lame paper bow but I did make a rosette which I can't do to save my life. Yay Cindy!
I think it turned out pretty cool. It was so simple to make just taking the measurements from the box to cut your paper and dressing it up just how you want it.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me and taking a look at my box. I hope that it gives you some inspiration.
More of my stuff to come after I get off of this bum for a while. You'll love my cookie project! It's like one of those cards that you see on Facebook. I read one this week that said, "All of these women are making these perfect Pinterest projects and I'm all like I took a shower and kept the kids alive." That's my cookie project

Very pretty, Cindy - you really did a gorgeous job of decorating that Kraft box - would you believe I have NEVER made one of those rosettes?! Yours looks great : )
