Work In Progress

Well the card box is taking shape, it is at the moment still a work in progress, I started the red one & now half way through I decided I fancied making a green one as well, as a result neither are finished yet. I nly have the inserts to finish in the red box & the tabs to make & I will be able to show the completed project.

From this

To this

getting there

The completed projects

***** Top tip *****
If the bottom of the box doesn't lie flat cut an insert & use No more nails to glue it in place. trust me it works a treat.

The crazy lady is let loose in Tesco's

If anyone was watching me this morning whilst wandering around Tesco's they would have been on the phone to the funny farm to get the men in white coats to come and get me.
I have seen these amazing card boxes / bin on peoples blogs and also there is a thread about them running on ILWS.

Box 1

Box 2

So there I was before work this morning combing the aisles of my local Tesco with a packet of c6 envelopes in my hand measuring all of the boxes to see if they fitted the bill for this project, I carefully emptied the boxes & e stacked the shelves. I found 3 that were suitable but the one I really wanted was full. So back I went after work & it was half empty, again i carefully re stacked the shelves & took the box. The checkout assistant thought it was hilarious & was intrigued why I wanted them, when I explained she thought it was a cool idea.
I can only imagine what the security guards were thinking if they were watching the cctv footage.
So next time you see someone acting odd in a supermarket........................It could be me on another mission to find something to alter.
