crafty thought of the day

So, I love these little boxes that come with rounds of Camembert.  Well, I love little boxes in general.  But the paper labels are impossible to remove.

If you can't beat 'em, cover 'em up and slap on some Mod Podge!

In retrospect, I wouldn't have sealed the inside of the box due to the tacky factor.  But hey, not too shabby for something I chose not to put in the rubbish bin!

BTW, the tutorial for the "one to grow on" is up on the sidebar.  Um, I was a BIT tired when I posted it, so if it's crazy confusing just shoot me an email.

Oh! And as an addendum, go check out this giveaway!  WAY CUTE!  I could TOTALLY see Elsie in this dress!

Now I might have to go out and buy some Camembert--purely for the craft project, of course! :)

I might have to buy some cheese for the box, too! I think they would be great for keeping my earrings organized. And prettier than the jewelery boxes they came in, too!

Hey there, I read through the tutorial and it seems super straightforward - I just need to get my hands on some of those little boys.......

I love these cheese boxes and love the repurposing too!

Thanks for the apple tree advice. It's growing between a wall and a path so it's a wonder it produces any fruit at all!
