So, this is my first blog post so bear with me.  I am currently looking for a new job and only working part time.  I have so much time on my hands that I have been crafting, cooking, cleaning and eating.  While trying to stay healthy I have decided that maybe a blog would be fun today.  I sure the only people who will read this will by my fiance and my mother.  lol.

Anyway, my first post is the tea box that I upcycled.  I love peppermint tea and drink it almost every day.  One of my maid of honors go my some Tazo tea when she came to visit me.  I drank all the tea very quickly but I continued to use the box.  I finally decided that I could use my Mod Podge to make it better.

First, I tried to get all the stickers off the container.  This was a lot harder then it sounds and I was lazy and left some one (which wasn't a good idea).  Next I found some textured paper that is typically used for book making.  I loved how beautiful the color is.  Next, I measured and cut the paper to fit the container.  I put Mod Podge on the container, placed the paper, put some cute stickers on and put Mod Podge over the top.  Super easy!
