Beach box...

Happy Humpday!!! is it just me or are the days just flying by super fast?! feels like the week has just started!!

so i've been trying to catch up on some sleep... been going to bed a bit earlier than the previous months.... by an hour or two.... but i still feel so drained and my lack of energy is really beginning to bother me.... today however is a much better day and i've FINALLY touched my craft supplies.... ooh it feels so good.... LOL...

i have Keenan's money box to share with you today... i was really stumped when my hanai dad didn't actually make what i wanted, which was a treasure box.... i was so set on it, but with his busy schedule it wasn't possible... finding out days before the party i felt the stress being tacked on... what was i going to create in just days before the party?!? i was on the last thread of just crying.... on a quick trip to BFC to see what my options were, Trina, my sweet sweet friend there, offered to complete the money box for me... BLESS her kindness because she really saved me!! with just 3 days before the party and her already busy schedule, she managed to add on making the box... and here it is....
since i bought so much of the beach themed painted wood thingys i gave her some to use on the box... which was perfect with what she had in mind.... plus it matched my frames... isn't it CUTE?!? i just LOVE it! btw, i still have it intacted... hehe.... that crab has to be my fave.... it's just so crabby! LOL...
here's the top of the box.... i love the way she added the bubbles to the fish... can't really see it but i think she used glossy accents for the bubbles, or something to that effect....
one side of the box.... ahhh, could i just put out a beach chair and lounge??? maybe with a coconut drink?!?
the other side of the box...

the box came out really really cute and we got lots of awesome comments about it.... simple, to the theme and CUTE!! Keenan LOVES it too... after removing his birthday cards he decided to use it as a playground... he just loves to play inside it... and if the slit is positioned right to where he can see someone, it's a peek-a-boo zone... hehe!

THANK YOU SO MUCH TRINA for the wonderful creation!!! i was, and still am, super stoked that you were able to create it for me!!! Muah!!

mahalo for the awesome comments yesterday... the fish and poles were the highlight of the party decorations... as some of you may know, hubby loves fishing and those table deco was one way to incorporate what he likes with the theme of the party.... i don't think he'll ever do the poles again though! LOL, it was A LOT of work....

stop in tomorrow for a spotlight on Lollipop Crafts sponsor of the week, Robyn's Fetish... and i'll be back with a piece of CAKE on Friday... yes, i'm saving the SWEETNESS for last... hehe!
