Altered Lunchbox Recipe Tins

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. On Saturday, I had a lot of fun with my family. We went to the amusement park for the day. They had $1 games and trick or treating for the kids. They even got to wear their costumes. They are dressing up as Batman and Batgirl.. they decided that together... Here is a picture:

Then on Sunday, I finished making these recipe tins, took pictures, and uploaded to the computer... so stay tuned this week to see what else I have been working on.
It has been awhile since I have altered these lunchbox tins. Since the holiday season is approaching us, I thought I would make these as gifts. I made all 3 recipe tins. These make great gifts for brides, moms, sisters, and anyone who loves to cook.
These are really fun and easy to make....



Have a great Monday.....

Altered Paperclips and Binder Clips

Who would have thought that office supplies would make the cutest bookmarks or photoholders? These are HUGE sellers at craft shows. All the kids love them. These are Halloween bookmarks.


These are altered binder clips. You just slip a picture into the top of the clip and it will hold. Very cute way to display your favorite picture.


This is my last week to get ready for my craft shows. They are this weekend. I can't believe it is almost here!! The rest of my entries this week will be about items in my craft show... hope you don't mind!!

More Altered Notebooks....

Good Friday morning to everyone. My son still has a slight fever... but he is much more energetic. I kept him home from school to rest! I don't think he slept last night because he says, "Is tonight's sleep going to be as long as last nights?" (He is 4 years old)Hopefully he will continue to get better...

Here are some more altered notebooks that I have made. The long ones are just the legal pads cut in half. They are great for teachers or make awesome grocery lists. They are really fun to make!!




Last night I finished a sample 6x6 album for a bride's bachelorette party. I will post some pics from that this weekend. Have a great rest of your day!!

Altered Notebooks

Hey everyone... I hope that everyone is having a great day... mine started off well, then all of sudden my son didn't feel well... he just crashed on the couch (he never does this) I felt his forehead and he was on fire!!! I took his temperature and it was 101... just makes me nervous with the swine flu going around!!
Anyway, here are some notebooks that I have altered to sell at the craft show. I just covered them with pattern paper and added some ribbon and flowers.


Have a great night!! Talk to you tomorrow!

lunchboxes

Here are some lunchboxes that I made last year. I sell some of my things at a store and someone had asked for a coupon box. I also made a recipe box for the store. I really enjoy altering lunchboxes. There are so many uses for these tins: memory box (baby, school days, holiday,sports), recipe, coupon, card box, planner... Have you altered a lunchbox? If so , leave a comment with a picture if you have one.... Have a great day! Beth
