Desk Tidy

Good Morning All

I have been working on this altered item for ages.



I used different sized tins and one plastic cup and the lid off a Quality Street tin.

 If you remember on one of the Sunday Mojos when John gave me a book see it here, I used some of the pages from the book to cover the tins.  Here is how it started out.













I lined the insides with various shades of card.







Then I painted with Acrylic paints and I put a pretty pink paper around the plastic  one.





And this is how it ended up.  I decorated with flowers and gems and ribbon and buttons and butterflies, now isn't that a surprise?

    Sorry I've been such a bad blogger the last few weeks Wendy and hands up and admit this is mostly copy and paste, but just wanted to thank you for your visits whilst I have been poorly and say hello, hopefully when we return from holiday I will back to normal - whatever that is !
