Hi,

I think this is turning into a little project now!  Here is the latest box that I've covered with decorative paper.  I wasn't sure how the two different patterns would look together but they don't seem too bad now that the box is finished.  Again I used the Xyron 510 to put adhesive onto the bits of paper which makes the whole process quick and painless.

This is the box before:

It used to be the box for the exczema lotion that my kids have to use and I cut it down a bit so that I could put my marker pens and things in.  Not terribly exciting looking but it worked!

And here is it now after it's makeover:

Much better now, no?  And my work table (dining table!) is a brighter and happier place to be.

I've blogged about this book before when I'd just made it but I wanted to show you all how I'm currently using it. 

I've been doodling ideas and also using it for my shopping lists.  I've even sent hubby to the supermarket with it but I think he kept it in his wallet so no one could see! I like using it because I can easily find the bright blue colour in my handbag which is better than those pieces of paper that I used to lose and it is also a great way to do some quick idea sketches whilst standing in a line somewhere.  I love the fact that the pages are made from an old envelope too!

I'm planning to make some more soon since this one doesn't have too many pages.
