First day at the "home office"

Yesterday was my first day working from home.  I started off with a nice wog in the fog.  More walk than jog.  I have to figure a way to fit in a work out now.  No more lunch hour work outs.

I was opting for an easy breakfast, preferably cereal...then Jeremy found the sausage.  I couldn't say no.  Our breakfasts are usually on the run since I am huslting to get me and them out the door and to daycare before I head to work.  I need to cherish this break with them, so I made them pancakes!

 Theirs.

Mine...I kid...maybe.  

Next up, I made some time for crafting.  I have been slacking on my Project Restyle.  I usually don't get home until at least 6, and by the time I make dinner and do baths it bedtime and I all I want to do is nothing.  I needed a quick project to complete during naptime, something I could start and finish.  I have been saving all my cereal boxes since I saw this map. 

Of course the map project hasn't been started.

I have been wanting to figure out some cheap/free packaging for my Etsy shop 1. because I am sick of buying packaging from the post office and 2. I like the idea of reusing what I have and not creating more trash. So, I got out the ol' sparkly glue and some OLD magazines and got busy.  I had a dress to ship today and I thought it would be fitting to use a February issue.

I cannot believe I had a 1997 Glamour. WOW!  

 I cut it open so it would be easier to work with.  Then I just ripped out the pictures and decoupaged them to the box.  I love to decoupage.  It's super easy and quick.  

 I went with the Valentines theme.

 And now I have something free and cheap to send a package in.  I did another one because I worried about sending this one overseas.   So I stuck with felt, tacky spray, and kept it simple.

And then we did a dance.
