Altering Again

I finally got around to altered these Ikea drawer units that I've been wanting to alter since I bought them, which was about a year ago. Yep, that's me.....the procrastinator! Not sure what these are called....I think they're meant for CD storage, but I have all sorts of office supplies in them. I have 2 of them, one on each side of my computer monitor. Now I wanna go to Ikea & buy some more just so I can alter them.....this is addicting :)
I used the Making Memories 5th Avenue line of papers on them & they look so cool in my room now :) I need to re-write the labels for them (I HATE my handwriting!) as I was in a hurry to just get them done.
We finally got another glimpse of Spring. When Jim came home from work today, he asked me if I saw the flowers out around the tree. I was like "Flowers? Where?? What tree???" I have Crocus! Crocuses? However you spell it....I have them. Aren't they pretty? And look......they're purple.....my favorite color :) Now I'm wondering what else will pop up around this tree. Since we didn't move into this house until the middle of August, I have no clue what is planted around the yard. And I want to plant some things myself, but I don't even know where to dig to plant stuff as I may end up digging up other flowers in the process. Jim doesn't want me planting anything right now since we may end up moving, so I guess he's right.....I'll wait.....for now. Patience, Benita....patience! Not one of my strong suits at all!

Gonna go watch some tv & relax. Just a friendly reminder.....tomorrow's tax day if you haven't done your taxes yet. Ours were done in February & the refund's been long gone! Have a great week!

Great job on the drawers!

I love purple too. Those are such petite flowers. They'd fry down here, probably.

my crocuses didn't come up this year. I must have accidentally weeded them last year!

My crocuses have already come and gone! That really stinks. The tulips are coming up now so that is something. I'm not a big gardener I just planted them for Danny.

Have a great day!

Beautiful crocuses! :) The altered boxes look wonderful. I have that same bad habit - procrastinating on a project. Someday they'll all get done. ;)

I really like the Target cubes but having trouble finding them onlone anywhere. Do you have a link to them or are they just found in the store?

I like the Ikea shelf also :)
