I barely even know what day it is, let alone keeping up with project days right now! ha ha.
Ok, well, I am making some progress. I haven't exactly been powering through mod podge land yet but I have completed a few things to show you.
The kids did more of the Sharpie Softies (Lord A did one too - so cute!) awhile ago and I hadn't finished them off for them so they were happy to cuddle them finally.
I covered a plain little craft box to make a gift box for the girly hair bow for my friend. My little box went from this:
to this:
I really love that effect of the two different patterns for the box and lid.
Next up is a DIY padded mailing envelope. I can't buy padded envelopes for posting gifts and so on at the moment (this is a veeeeery long story....) so I made my own using a regular office supply envelope.....
some bubble wrap cut into two rectangles and made into a pocket by using clear packing tape to seal 3 sides....
and then pop them into the envelope and bob's your uncle!
Love it. Oh, I forgot to take a photo of my snazzy label I made. I will do that another day with another parcel I have to send.
I also bought one of those plastic organiser boxes (like the ones for beads) to organise my stationery but I am pretty sure you don't want to see a picture of that (although I do have very cute squirrel clips and penguin paperclips!). Have a good weekend everyone!
I love those sharpie stuffies, they're so cute!

Your post about the bubble mailer reminded of a tutorial I saw several years ago about "bubble mailers". I looked back and finally found the link. These were so cute and thought you may be interested in checking it out.
