Creative Upcycling

Starting to get those creative juices flowing once again. Emptying boxes has rekindled my creativeness as I run into goodies I haven't seen in awhile. I'm trying my best to organize things so I can put them away as soon as I'm done with a project. When you only have a corner you have to do the best you can. I also have windows right above my table that will allow natural light in. They face east so it can get pretty bright. One nice thing is there is this closet that is perfect for stowing scrap stuff. I'll have to take a picture to show you sometime. The shelves are deep and tall enough to fit my paper holders on and a little space to store more if I wish.

I've been waiting for the perfect time to create this item. My mom worked for Jockey International for 20 years. I worked there a summer or two. Then my mom was able to get a job there after my first summer there. As a retired employee she is still allowed discounts, so when went to Kenosha for my nephew's wedding I asked her to pick me up some underwear. I was surprised to get them packaged as I remember them being single at the outlet store. My creative brain went into overdrive. I remembered a notebook I saw in I think a Papercrafts magazine. I hadn't found the magazine yet in the boxes, but I still went ahead and created this notebook. Well enough chit chat here is the box and then the notebook.



I used my Bind it All to bind it and a piece of leftover BG Periphery.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!
