The Birthday Season Has Begun!

In our family, Spring brings almost all of the birthdays.  We have several in March, and the majority are in April.  That means I'll be busy making presents for the next few months!  This last weekend we celebrated my niece Sofia's 6th birthday.  The day before the party I had remembered that Sofia really wanted a special box to put her treasures in (similar to the one I had made her younger sister Pearl a few months before).  So I brought out the paper and the Mod Podge and went to work!  This is the end result ...

I used one of my dad's old cigar boxes (which I have PLENTY of) and some of my more "childish" looking paper.  

This was really my first attempt at decoupage and I had so much fun doing it!  I definitely will be doing more projects like this in the near future.
