Altered Match Box is Finished!

OK it's been a couple days since I've posted and I apologize but I have been working, REALLY!

Before I show you the box though, I have to show you something else. You're all used to my occasionally putting in some personal stuff though I try not to do that often. My daughter and her dog moved out three weeks ago. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that. Her dog was my big dogs play mate. She doesn't have that now and she tries hard to play with the little dogs but they aren't very fond of her because she so easily over powers them. So here is what I contend with ALL day EVERY day now!















Yes, her head is between the desk and my leg and she is staring at me wanting attention. How the heck can I ignore that and keep working??? And now because she's doing it the others think they have to too...
















Sigh...they tear at my heart. Thanks for letting me share :)

Now on with the box... I say complete but I still have to put the podge on the inside of the box but I wanted to get it up here for you. If you're interested in knowing the process leave me a comment and I'll do a little tutorial on it.

















Hope you're having a wonderful crafty week and I'll be back tomorrow with another project that I finished today!

Love ya,
~Deb~

    my dog and my neighbors dog play together too and everytime i let my dog run in the yard (we're not allowed fences) she heads right over to my neighbor... same with my neighbor's dog. they are BFFs for sure. mine is a german/australian shepherd mix and hers is a chocolate lab. they are a joy aren't they.

    1. Thanks Stef! Yes they are a joy and a pain all rolled into one LOL! But I couldn't live without them either. They are my babies not that my kids are grown. :) They might even love me more than my kids Ha!
