Box It Up!

Bynataliebrooke.c

I tend to be quite the little packrat, so to organize my memories and treasures I decorate a shoebox and deem it my memory box.  I recently re-did my box and I love how it turned out!!   I have everything from an autographed baseball I found with my dad to special cards and even some of my baby teeth. (in the little tooth box with the girl in pigtails.) haha.  They also make a really nice gift – no need for a gift bag, just fill ‘er up and add a bow.  I’ve made a few for my friends, and they’ve all seemed to enjoy them.  🙂 Shoeboxes are so useful!!  While shoe shopping with a friend, I fell in love with a box and thought of a bunch of things I could use it for…  I think I may have a box complex.   Am I weird?

Exciting ‘Ber’ Months: Embracing Fall and Spring as a September Baby

Hi! Natalie Brooke here. With another month over, we’re closer to the “ber” months!! Which excites me immensely. I’m looking forward to the fall weather so much for many reasons. The colours, the fashion and the fact that my house doesn’t currently have a working air-conditioning unit. Ugh. I’ve got an AC in my window…

Just A Penpaling Away…

I love receiving mail and sending it, but let’s be honest here..whenever you go to the mailbox, all you want in there is something exciting for you!  Sorry bills, advertisements, and those stupid campaign calendars – you’re not as mind-blowing as you think.  I’ve started a memory box for the more important (aka special) pieces of mail…

Through the (Awkward) Years

Bynataliebrooke.c

I was looking through a magazine and found an article with an interview on Stacy London (LOVE her!)  In the interview she states that she had an awkward stage through age nine to thirty! Can you imagine? Everyone has their awkward stage, thankfully mine only lasted about 4 years. (My highschool years) As you can see,…

    I have shoe boxes but I keep them because they’re already nice, not decorated by me! I love one in particular which is “covered” in letters and stamps, and I used it to keep my letters and postcards!
