Teaching an Old Box New Tricks
You may or may not have caught my little box of Kona Solids in my last post:
Let me tell you a little story about how that came to be. C'mon. I'd listen to your stories if you'd tell them to me. ;)
So last Christmas, I spied these adorable boxes of Smore's Party Mix at Meijer in the after-Christmas clearance. They sounded nummy and all (and yes, let me tell you . . . they WERE), but more than that I was just taken with their packaging:
Please tell me other people buy stuff because of the box it comes in?
Anyway, on clearance I want to say they were 80 cents each or something, so I snatched up 2 thinking I'd transform them somehow when I was done eating a ridiculously bad for me snack. As in, so bad it's GOOD.
Anyway . . . it only took 5 months, but I finally did some work on one of them:
And for now I'm nestling the two together to corral my Kona solid fat quarters:
And that is a beautiful thing.

What a transformation! It's spectacular! Another inspiring post!! I don't know about that post title though....
Love it! And loving your fabric storage too!
Looks so great! The box and the whole display in general. And I think I recognize a little penguin hiding in there. ;)
I also buy things because of the packaging, or if i am brave i try to negotiate just buying the packaging. There are not enough cute boxes in the world for the projects I have planned!
This is SO cute!
Very cute! And the functional cuteness totally cancels out any naughty snacking. All your organized fabric looks awesome!
