The problem with upcycling boxes is that people think that you like to collect empty boxes too...and proceed to pass you ALL of their empty boxes....*LOL*
Actually I'm rather picky about boxes...they have to be sturdy and at the very least clean....[I've gotten some pretty disgusting boxes...]*LOL*
P/s: Hope you are enjoying the last few days of 2011 my friends! I'll be taking a little bloggy break. See you in 2012! :)

love the doilies used! happy new year!
That is so funny! I get all sorts of weird stuff too, along with the question, "Is this a craft?" I love what you did with the boxes.
beautiful container. Love your upcycled projects. Hope I can get to play your Lessology challenge next year. Happy holidays!
LOLOLOLOL That happens to me too, people are always giving me empty containers and what not. I just love the top of this, you get so much layering and detail in such a tiny space!
I always love it when you re-use something and I absolutely love this one.
Have a Happy New Year my friend.
Members of my family are *always* giving me stuff that they think I should upcycle. The problem is that I'm a pretty contrary kind of person. I only like to upcycle to things that *I* find or think to save!!! Anyway, I can relate. Love what you did with this, Yvonne. Happy New Year!
Chuckling at the idea of someone giving you a dirty box. I recently put some of the ribbon you gave me to work over here :)
You make me laugh I know about people who wants to help and give you a lot of things..and than it is dirty...
But this box me friend is absolutely amazing!
Love that doily and all of the pretty embellies. Have a Happy New Year! Hugs!!!
Awesome! Love the doily and all the fussy cut flowers. Great container, too. This is awesome, Yvonne!
