Sunday Shenanigans

Well today is Sunday...already? Where did the weekend go?  I have made a come back from how I was feeling yesterday so I have been trying to get things done that did not get done yesterday.

I already have stuff in the crock pot for pulled pork....which you can find here.  It is so delicious! Even DH likes it, which makes anything even more fun to cook.

Here is one activity I was able to accomplish last night after the dogs went to bed. 
I don't know this for sure...but I am almost 100% positive that dogs are very similar to children.  After my dogs go to bed I make sure to be very quiet because you "let a sleeping dog lie" sort of thing.  I'm sure children are the same way.

I made dinner last night, not the healthiest of choices but it helped with my up-cycling project and cleared space in my freezer.

Take a box of some kind, clearly this is a cheese stick box, but I have also seen this done with cereal boxes and that works just as well.  Measure a few inches up the side, I believe I measured up 5" here.  Then just draw a line to the corner from where you measured up on each side. Cut!

Then cover with some scrap book paper/card stock like I did here, and I added a nice little saying that I found in my scrap book things.  You could also use newspaper (the comics section would be cute), or wrapping paper, or even left over wall paper!!  

You could let your kids join in and make this for their rooms to hold books or magazines (you do the cutting of course!) and then let them cover the box in stickers or they could color pages in a coloring book and glue them on.  They could even glue buttons on!

This project really doesn't take very long to make and there are endless possibilities of what to cover it in as well as what to make it out of or use it for!!  Plus it's very inexpensive :)

When you get tired of one box, recycle it and make a new one!  I'm sure you'll eat cereal again ;)

I am also doing laundry among other household chores today and I have several pairs of jeans to fix and a baby quilt to make! Yikes!

Enjoy your day everyone!!!

P.S.  Sorry if my blog starts to look a little messy, I'm going to start doing some construction and adding tutorials very soon! It will take me a while but stick with me!! <3
