Thinking "outside the box" and NEWBIE party started early!

So I told you the other day I was thrifting at our local humane society.  I love that place and they do such a wonderful job of caring for all those unwanted or stray pets that need new homes.  I can tell you there is an overload of kitty cats! A lot do find homes and even if they don't they have a pretty good life there.  People come and walk the dogs and play with the cats on a daily basis.

Anyhow, I spied this BOX for 6.00.  It was old and I could tell by the somewhat old funky smell.  You know that smell I am speaking of, not so pleasant. Well anyhow for 6.00 and some good cleaner I figured I could do something with it.

The lady at the register said "Finally someone is buying that box"!

I also scored some old camera's for 5.00 a piece, and some travel decals too!

So my mind went a spinning, and this is what I came up with...

 I was going to paint it, but honestly, I like it as is. It matches our old  door above the bed in the masterbedroom

 So I decided to make a photo box, added some old Pics of dear ole Gramps, the old cameras and a family vacation album.  Oh lets not forget some negatives. 

 I do not do many of these albums anymore since everything is on computer.  But I think I will this summer. Nothing like thumbing through a photo album.

 

So let's get this newbie party started!

GUIDELINES:

Blogging six months or less/and/or less than 100 followers.

If you are not a friend of mine, I would love if you became one.

I try to visit each link and comment.  I don't always make the commenting, for several reasons.

Word verification trips me up big time.  I do not have time to retype nonsense two and three times, so I leave. I have a feeling a lot of gals do.  So consider getting rid of it.

Remember this party is for you to make new friends. So please do not link and leave and expect the world to come flocking.  That is not how blogging works.  Comment, comment, comment.  You will be surprised what you get back.  I love when I see my old friends who can't be a part of the party participating.  Thank you for the support.

Have fun!
