I have begun making little 2" square boxes for the nursing home! They can be used to house little gifts for bingo and such and it is just a tiny bit I can do to give back. If one of my little creations brightens the day of one of the residents then I have achieved what I set out to do. I will be doing lots more of these and then for Christmas I'm doing kleenex box covers for some of them. I have so many papers and this will be a good way to use it up. I have more paper than I can possibly use before I die so it is time to start cutting into it!
Well that is it for me...I'm off to link up and visit as many of my fellow deskers as I can.

Beautiful.. Those little boxes sure will brighten the day, lovely thought Glenda and a great way to use up some of that paper stash. I too have more than I will ever need in one lifetime. Happy WoywW Tracey #6
What a lovely idea for the nursing home, I'm sure they will love your beautiful little boxes. I also have way too many papers and need to start using them up - the boxes are a great idea.
Have a great week,

Well done, Magpie, I think that’s a brilliant idea, and they’re sooooo cute! Lovely work, it’s so nice having you back on WOYWW again each week. I seem to blog only on Wed these days, may change but life stil happens doesn’t it!
Agreed re more stash than will ever use, that’s why I’m making extra cards as gifts.
Happy WOYWW. Thanks for sharing, Shaz in Oz.x #10

Hi Glenda! Love those llittle boxes, very cute. I love making boxes but they are such a pain to store, especially as I like to stick all that lovely stuff on the outside to make them pretty. I had to laugh about using up yuor papers befor you die - guilty as charged!! Still hurts to cut into some of it though!! Happy WOYWW Cindy #18
They will be loved - such a lovely idea. Have a great week

Beautiful boxes, I am sure they will be greatly appreciated. Helen #1
Great idea to use up your stash for such a good cause - that's why I make the sunglasses cases for my charity. Better than the paper/fabric just sitting in boxes in our craftroom eh?! Love the little flower on top, they're bound to be used again and again!

What a lovely idea Glenda, I’m absolutely sure that the pleasure you get is nothing compared to the pleasure you give. They are such pretty boxes too, ideal size for a little gift.
I love to find ways of using up old papers and these little boxes are perfect gifts. Hope you've had a very happy woyww, Angela x11x

I can't believe it took me 3 days to get here. That's what happens when I limit my computer time; I get so behind. These are the cutest little boxes, Glenda. You're doing good works and using up some of your papers in the process!
ooh lovely idea and such a personal touch too.
thanks for visiting my desk already
