I have to admit I love Trader Joe's. But I have a problem with their over packaging. The next problem is I live in a small house and I am trying to keep it from turning into an office and studio not a home. I went looking for nice boxes to store things like letters and craft stuff. Everything was so expensive and looked like it was for an office, which made sense since it is for an office.

THE SOLUTION I am using the boxes from TJ's to make things for my home. A little bit of Mod Podge (glue), beads, fabric, paint and least I forget Gesso and walla I have something recycled and I have solved both problems

Making these boxes have been an experiment in not buying anything. I have used only things in my craft and quilting stashes.

This particular box is for putting in the mail in. Birds and mail seem to go together, at least it works for me.
