after
Maybe I've mentioned that I am behind? Well, its been so bad that I didn't give my buddy, Angie, her Christmas gift! Christmas is long gone at this point, but there are still hints of it here and there in my home. I keep stumbling across a bauble that I missed packing away, or a bit of broken ornament peeking out from under a dresser.
Every year, I break quite a few Shiny Brites. I used to wonder what on Earth my family was going to do with all the holiday crap I have once I am gone.
But after breaking so many every year, I realized that by the time I am dead, they will be all gone.

Anyway, I had made this Christmas box for my friend, but its a bit late to give her a Christmas themed gift.
So, last week, I re-foofed it for the next holiday, by adding some Valentiney stuff.
after
The little angel by the door now holds a heart cut out of a red sequin, and the front sports a frosted glass heart with old rose wallpaper behind it, and some crepe paper.
And it isn't Valentine's Day without roses, of course.
Hopefully, her belated gift will have an extended shelf life now, so she can enjoy it awhile.
That is so darn cute!!!

Very sweet! I hope the gift brings Angie as much smiles for her as getting to see the pictures did over here.
Since you made this, does that mean it's not too early to wish you a Happy Valentines Day?

The refoofing is a great idea. You know, since I started visiting you "foofing" has become one of my favorite verbs!
