Some gifts

Recently, a friend bought her son a new desk so I wanted to create something for him to go on his new desk. He has a sister and I also wanted to create something for her. I ended up taking some food cans and cleaned them out and took the labels off. I then covered them to match their rooms. I won't be able to get the gifts to them for a couple of weeks since I have to have  someone deliver them, but I hope they like them. Their mama is going to get to see them early though as she will probably read this entry. :) 






Pencil holder, decorated with Lightening McQueen as that is what his room is decorated in. I also created a matching holder with his name on it.



And now on to the one for sister. This one is done in blues and surf boards.


I put a separator in this can as it was bigger and this way there wouldn't be any problems with keeping the pencils/markers/etc. standing.

  1. Awe...you're one amazing Roja Chica! =) I can't believe you did this all since this morning!

    So I called Stephen and said, "Wanna see something?" I read the description and he was like, "That's for me!?!?" I said, "How do you know?" Response, "Cause it's Lightning McQueen...wait, I have to go get Sister!"

    ...Trot off to bedroom..."Bekah come see what a nice girl made for us!" =) LOL!!!

    They are so happy...thank you again and again...I know these will get lots of loving! Bekah has what she calls her "Secret" desk in her bedroom...there is a fold down desk in the book shelf area...so finally she has no excuse for pencils laying everywhere in her room!

    The colors are perfect...Thanks again!

  2. I am glad they like them. I am sending them to convention with Sonia, so hopefully they will have them in a couple of weeks. I really enjoyed making them for them. :-) Stephen cracks me up :)

    I am always so impressed with them. You and David have done an amazing job raising them!

  7. The surfboards were actually pretty easy. I found a surfboard on line and printed it out on card stock and then used that as a template to cut out surf boards on patterned paper. :)
