Boredom, wrapping paper, and a shoebox..


So I'm trying to keep myself busy as DH is away with work tonight and won't be back 'til tomorrow late evening (since he moved to Leeds to be with me 2 years ago the only night we've spent apart was the night before our wedding, and I at least had friends with me!) and so I've been busy doing lots of cleaning/washing/other crazy things to keep my mind off it! Not to mention going crazy as my contract at work ended on Friday and I can't get another job it seems

So, cue the shoebox, wrapping papper and the like.. And ta-da! Baby keepsake box!

The picture is in B&W as that's what I uploaded to Facebook as we want to keep the gender a secret from the majority.. But the writing is pink basically. If/when I can get the other pictures off the phone I will upload the colour version.

Ok so it's not much - but I wasn't going to pay £12 for basically the same thing in Clintons! xx

Glad I've helped ignite the creative streak in some of you I will be doing lots of little things like this to keep me busy while I'm not working now.. Ooh I will definately play with some sewing stuff tomorrow

Laura - when he comes home he'll probably be in a completely different house as you would've changed it all through boredom Hehe. When DH comes home tomorrow he won't be able to get into the living room as I'm washing and drying EVERYTHING lol.

But at least I have the Xbox Kinect to entertain me this evening.. I can't be mad that DH bought it on a whim now haha xx
