No cards to share but a project that I am working on for our company picnic in a couple weeks. The theme for the picnic is "Pirates of the Caribbean" so I thought that i could make these treasure chests to put on the tables for the centerpieces. I saw a pinata at Price Busters and it gave me an idea to make the centerpieces. I used a card board box and cut the rolls of crepe paper to cover the boxes. After making one I thought it was a great idea but of course got carried away decorating it. I'm actually making 15 of them and hopefully I'll be able to finish it by next week. I thought I could finish in time but with my granddaughters birthday party I had to finish hers first. I'm happy that one of my co-worker and her husband is helping with them. Whew.....These boxes measure about 8-1/2" d x 11" w x 12" h. It's a pretty good size and looks like I got to get alot of goodies to make it full. Hopefully this is my last project for a while. It's really taking a toll on me... Want to get back into make my cards again... Hope you all have a Great Day and thanks for stopping by to check out my creations!
