Holiday House

It was just Thanksgiving last week and I was thankful for an abundant table. I was even more thankful for a dessert table overflowing with pies, cakes, mousse, pudding and cheesecake! There were a lot of left-overs which the guests got to take home. There were also left-over boxes like this one:

I found the orange & white stripes adorable so I thought, "Why not turn this blah into a Tada!?"

The bottom and sides were free of any logos...perfect for crafting! After cleaning off the icing, measuring, cutting, gluing and decorating...

Tada! I've got a colorful cardboard house to hang on my tree!

  3. Because of you I have been saving bottles and packaging and whatnot like a crazy woman. I've gotta get to using them this holiday season and make some decorations with my kids or I'm going to be like Sara Cynthia Silvia Stout who would not take the garbage out!
