Thanks!


Hi Friends!

I'm back again to share with you a couple of projects I made for my husband's assistant to celebrate Administrative Professional's Day tomorrow!  I'm entering these projects at The Shabby Tea Room!  Here is the gorgeous inspiration photo we were to follow...
My husband's assistant, Sue, is a real sweetie!  She always keeps my husband organized for his projects and meetings.  I wanted to make something special for her, and I know that she keeps candy on her desk.  So, I decided to decorate a pretty box for her with a matching card. I painted a box with white paint and lined it with blue felt.  I covered the box with paper.  The lid was embellished with felt flowers, pearls, glass glitter, gem brad, doily, ribbon, and button.








I filled the box with delicious Hershey chocolates!
And, here is a close up of the decorated box.


Hope you are having a great week.  Thanks so much for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!!:-))
