Making a cardboard box into a toy box for your child

My son has a TON of cars. He just loves all kinds of matchbox cars and monster cars...everything! When we travel, it's difficult to keep them all straight so my dad gave me this box he got from work. It used to contain chocolate bars and he thought it would be perfect for my son's cars. It works great! but I really wanted to make it look a little better. Here's how I did it! 1. Get all your supplies together: -box -paint -paintbrush -mod podge -sticker letters (if you can find them. I got mine at Dollar Tree.)

2. Paint the box

3. Put stickers on the box

4. Mod Podge over the stickers so they never come off. I know my son and he's very destructive! This last step isn't necessary, but for my kid, I sure felt it was.

And now you have a cute little box for your son's toys!

21st Birthday Cake

So if you follow my blog, you will remember that my best friend just turned 21 a couple of weeks ago. Well, I made her a cake a couple days later when we had a little party for her at home with the girls. It was funny. It was cute. It was slightly inappropriate! We call her wasted Barbie.

She threw up a little. Her hair is a mess. She's missing a shoe. She fell asleep with a cigarette in her hand, holding a bottle of booze. (FYI, we got the mini bottles of alcohol from the liquor store. They're only a couple of bucks so they're perfect. Plus she was able to drink them!)

This was just a plain cake made from a box, covered in icing, and decorated. I hope you have as much making a cake like this as we did. It was hilarious!
