I stopped by our thrift store the other day just to see if I would have any luck.
This particular thrift store hasn't been good to me.
I almost never come out with anything & this time was no different, really.
But, I had Boo, my 5 year old little girl, with me & she spotted this little metal box.
I opened it up & it had it's original dividers & 3x5 cards in it.
Boo wanted it & since it was only 99 cents we purchased it.
I, actually, liked it in it's original condition, but since it was for Boo, I thought I should spruce it up for her.
I spray painted it yellow & made new dividers using cardstock that I had on hand.
Since it was a nice warm day for quick paint drying, it took a total of about 15 minutes from start to finish.
Boo loves her little box & shows it to everyone.
I wasn't sure what she wanted to do with it, but I got to thinking that she looooves to color.
So I bought a package of 3x5 cards & she's been coloring like there's no tomorrow.
She's so excited to have so many little papers to use.
Her drawings are divided as follows {so far}:
jungle animals
sea animals
farm animals
pets
family
rainbows
monsters
We have one more week of school.
I am so excited for summer our summer to begin!
