I had so much fun making the mailbox for my daughter's student teacher I had to make a few more. I have several friends who are elementary school teachers so these will definitely come in handy :) They are also going to be an entry in Verve's Triple Play Project Parade.
I kept the design the same for all of them, just switched up the DPs and colours on each one. Had a ball making them and wish I had a few more so I could dole them out to a few more teachers or moms with small kids.However, the fun ended when I had to try to take a picture of all three of them at once. As you can see, I ended up using the light box again as my windowsill could not accommodate three of them at one time without a major structural engineering feat in order to get a photo platform LOL. I tried my best to show you as much of the mailboxes as I could, and thought I had mastered it, but just noticed the one on the right wasn't angled properly so it got cut off a bit - ugh. It has the same design as the other two on the side, just used different colours. The finishing tough was a snowflake added to both sides of each mailbox "flag" :)
Thanks for coming by today :) Have a fabulous Sunday!

LOL Thanks for the encouragement about Stacey's curtain call...I hope it wasn't just because no one else wanted to take December, being such a busy month :) enjoy your Sunday :)
