The WRITE Thing to Do

Hooray, hooray, it's Friday!

Have you been enjoying all the John Derian

inspiration this week?

If he'd offer tours to his workshop, I'd

be the first in line!

Anyway, one of the designs he likes to

use are handwritten letters:

Tissue paper to wrap gifts

{some sections were marked with a X...the "delete"

button wasn't invented yet!}

A pretty glass plate

A nostalgic placemat

{your go signal to read other people's mail!}

With this in mind, shall we do

a blah to TADA! make-over?

blah: an empty ice cream tub

{cleaned with soap & water and allowed to dry}

blah: old magazine & catalog pages

When you put them together using

scissors, glue & a layer of Mod Podge,

here's what happens:

TADA! A classy container with hints of the

type-written & handwritten word, plus

an arresting insect for a pop of color.

Would you like to add some handles?

Just punch a few holes and add some rope,

ribbon or twine; knot the ends.

Use it organize your work space.

TADA!

Have a lovely weekend!
