Ok, it's one of those adorable Target Dollar Spot mailboxes. The paper is Chatterbox. I cut the little flag thingie with my new nestabilities.
This next thing is neat, it will go in the box. It's a cool folding envelope chain. So you lay all your envelopes open and glue the one flap to the next envelope. Then at the top you are left with a flap, you wrap it all the way around the whole thing after folding it up. I made another today with 6 envelopes and it's really hard to close, this one has just 3 and it's fine to close. I am using sticky back velcro for the closure. I LOVE that stuff for fun projects like this. The metal hearts are just brads from my stash.
for these inside thingies, this is where the envelopes open. I took a scallop oval punch and punched a bit out of the squares I was covering them with so they have an easier reach into them. Also it looks a little cute.
So I stuffed the little pockets with flat goodies, and I'll jam the rest of the box full of cool stuff. (I did try and you cannot fit a handful of copics in there. :(
Oh here is my other tip for these. Sense they are flat on the bottom you can nail them to the wall. Why you ask? Well they are the perfect depth for your colored pencils, markers or whatever. :) I really want to do it, but I have almost no wall space because I'm in a shared room with DH's sports collection and I used my wall space for that card memo board I showed you the other day.
I also got this today! Gotta love the way framingsupplies ships stuff. This is 15 rolls of refil for my ATG. I got the gold 12 rolls, the regular 1 roll and 1 roll of this other kind from the second page that was super cheat at 2.29 for 60 yards. I guess that's just 14 rolls... Dang. I thought I had 15. Oh well. My son Ethan loved stomping on all the bubble wrap stuff!

Adorable. I bet she'll love it.
Erin I just adore your mini mailboxes.
They remind me of my first ever visit to the States when my friend in NC and I decorated her full sized mail box. I was fasinated by all the mail boxes at the side of the road, as here in the UK we only have letterboxes (holes in the door that measure about 10 x4 inches)soooooooo boring LOL
Still I least I can pick up my mail in my dressing gown (robe)
