Altered Jewelry box

Ladies,

FINALLY got around to altering a lil' jewelry box I picked up in a resale shop about a year ago.  I could just picture how cute the "Little Darlings" line by Graphic 45 would be on this box!  I would LOVE to do another class on altering wooden, paper mache objects, or chipboard.  Please comment on here if you'd like to do a class like this!  What awesome, easy, personal, and inexpensive gifts for Christmas!

Thanx,


Bev

Scrap N Easels are HEEEERE!!!

Ladies,

I got in six of the awesome Scrap N' Easels.  Three are already sold.  If you'd like one, drop by the store as soon as you can and get one.  They won't last long!  I love mine!  These awesome, magnetic easels give you a better view of your project.  You don't lose small pieces that you've decorated for your page, as you use the magnets to hold them onto the board while you design.  The board folds totally flat for portability.  Also, you do NOT get back and neck strain while using this design board!  There is also a smaller one that doesn't fold in the center for card making.  The card making ones run $39.99 each.  The 12 X 12, two page easels run $59.99 each.  This is an awesome tool!

Thanx,
Bev
