On the Eleventh Day of Stressed Much.

On the eleventh day of Stressed Much 
Hmmm
No inspiration for this post was there to be

Nup not even some random photography







Look what fits in a trolley.


I will probably think myself mad later when trying to get this home, but for now it's bagsed in the lay by warehouse at kmart. Unfortunately for the shop assistants this is huge this is heavy and their warehouse is upstairs. 

On the Tenth Day of Stressed Much.

On the tenth day of Stressed Much I thought I'd better finish some assembly. 

These little gift boxes were found on eBay. I ordered white. I think they were called Laser Cut Candy boxes. And came in a couple of pretty pale shades and red and a few different designs. This one was xmasy. (Sleighs and snowflakes is Xmas in my mind, that's why we do Xmas in July to get the cold experience).



I'm not sure if they are cardboard or something slightly plastic. They are maybe as thick as two sheets of paper so they hold their shape fairly well. The cutout is a little fragile so I used a ruler to assist with bending where required. 

Fold all the edges in, and the tabs on the top out

Slot the open sides together

The bottom tabs

And with organza ribbon (that were supplied with the boxes)

Feed it through the slits in the top


I bought some organza bags , in the shade of palest green

For the jewellery to go in

For the bag to go in the box

A tag to identify the gifted

Tie the ribbon

Go oooo that's pretty

For the twins

To put round their flat.

Xmas beetle

Too late to change day 9

Australian Xmas beetle. A pale gold, with touches of glistening green in the right light. 


Preparing for take off

Unfortunately he then landed in my hair

On the Ninth Day of Stressed Much.

On the ninth day of Stressed Much I didn't realise how hard these posts would be, glad I didn't try to stick with perfect numbering.

On the Seventh Day of Stressed Much.

On the seventh day of Stressed Much I went forth to see

What great assortment of Our Generation  Kmarts stock would be. 
It was like this at both stores I went to. 
No shelf label for a Retro Diner though, but as monte Python says, it will hopefully tell the ordering person This is popular enough to Get More Stuff. 

Still need 7 boxes with hinges. 

How dare you go to work all day, come home late and make us wait for dinner. 

New Stephen King. 

The mailman came for me. 

3 rolls of wrapping paper. 

A mini Cinderella. 

And something left over from Halloween.
