'I challenge you to buy yourself a box of chocolates (or even better, get someone else to buy them for you!) You can then alter the empty box to use as storage. Easy eh?'
So, here is a little box of elaborate dark chocolate buttons that I bought yesterday:
And now, instead of chocolate buttons, the box is housing buttons for crafting:
Great challenge - thank you, girls. I'll be watching out for other challenges (and might even try to do the previous ones).
Thanks for the comments about my hospital visit. The outcome is that there's nothing that can surgically be done to ease the pain - too much to go into here, but thanks for your thoughts.
very nice hazel,i love the embossing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in Hazel.
ReplyDeleteLove the embossed lid on the box. Fantastic play on the theme - chocolate buttons to crafting buttons!
You didn't say what happened to those gorgeous looking chocolates though... did they taste as good as they look? Did you share them with John?

OMG Hazel, how could you! Imagine showing that gorgous box of Hotel Chocolat buttons, now I'm drooling and it's only 9.20am! You made a lovely job of turning it into a box for non-edible buttons, any excuse eh?
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling along with Janice I'm afraid - the choccies look gorgeous and so does the tarted-up box! Love the texture lid and the way you've used the buttons in some of the flower dots - great stuff!
