treasure boxes

i'm waaaay behind. 

i have a lot to post about, i've just lacked any motivation to edit pictures. =P

so, these are minimally edited because i had to...

but a lot of the more recent ones i will be posting will be laaaazy. and ugly--

because i made a deal with myself that i could take pics on auto...

and that's the only reason i even took any at all on the 4th...

small price to pay for an updated blog, no?

anyway.

here is one of our craft projects.

it's really pic heavy because i love the bright colors

*~enjoy~*

we used tempera paint and $1.99 wooden boxes from Hobby Lobby (that were 40% off)

to make these treasure boxes...

when jax woke up, daddy brought him out to say hello

 

i *love* her face when she's concentrating on art

it's so cute <3

the girls adored this project and wanted to paint another one after every surface of their boxes were covered.

the boxes now proudly hold their most precious possessions, and may have even taken the place of the

under-the-pillow hiding spot. 

that's huge. ;)
