Being that I've spent so much time over the last several months with family, I didn't think we'd miss each other's company so much I couldn't sneak away and spend time with as many of you as I could get around to yesterday -- hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day holiday! Of course, I couldn't get around to everyone -- I'm so blessed to have so many family-friends -- but I'll definitely be trying to reach out to touch you all.
Although things are better with each passing day, things are still a bit "shaky" so I can't promise I'm back on a normal basis but I'll be here as long as time permits (hopefully a while) and I'll be getting in as much crafting and blogging as I possibly can; I'm on a mission... lol!!!
So, not to waste a precious minute of time, my project share are these toilet paper roll gift boxes:
Of course I had to gussy up the backs of the boxes too:
I'd never seen these tp roll boxes before until I was a happy mail package several weeks ago from my sweet family-friend Terry. She'd made and included one for me in the package, and it was filled with chocolates (that I ate immediately). After I saw the box I immediately googled it and saw they're quite popular -- guess I'm really out of the loop, huh?!!! LOL! Here's the happy mail I received from Terry:
And, I absolutely love the bag Terry packaged this all in so I'll definitely be keeping it:
Well, I hope you like my boxes. I'm off to do more crafting and visiting; like I said, I don't know how much time I've got so I'm off to make certain I enjoy the time I have for as long as I can. I'm almost done with another project and I think you'll really like it, so stay tuned!
Hugs, and I'll be seeing you!

Audrey!!!!!! It was so good to see that you had stopped by to see me. As you know from your visit, I was missing in action almost the same time you have been. I'm so sorry that you have been going through some roughness in your life, but hopefully smooth will return and you can get back to being the happy girl I know you to be! Love your boxes! And it is funny, but I have that same bag and saved it too! LOL I'm planning to use it sometime as background paper on one of my cards. Anyway, I'm so glad to "see" you and hope that things will continue to be on the upswing for you again. Huge bear hugs for you! Curt

Those are so pretty! I had never seen or heard of them before either, so if you're out of the loop I guess i am too :) I especially love the trims you used on the bottom of each of them. That finishing touch really adds a special something.
Best crafty wishes!

beautiful my friend so glad to see you back its been awhile. thank you for dropping by and letting me know. hugs to you
What beautiful gift boxes. I would have never guessed they were made using tp rolls.
Audrey so glad you are back to blogging. I too had a hard time getting back to blogging but finally have been able to posts many of the cards I have made over the last several months. I have found that if I am between projects, before I start the next one I sit down and type up and schedule a few posts to go up.
I LOVE LOVE the TP rolls you created they are beautiful. I may have to give that a try.
Hugs to you dear friend

How beautiful Audrey, it is good to be back here for your lovely projects again!
Audrey! You are so incredibly sweet! When you said you'd be back in the last e-mail, I didn't expect it this soon but boy am I HAPPY!! YAY! :-D And you know what, you did the favor bags (some call them tussie mussies) superb - much better than mine! I love them! You have that flair of over the top creativity anyway though! LOVE IT girl! Woohoo! Audrey's back! <<>>
LOVELY! I have not seen these either. They remind me of the sour cream containers we all love to make. :-) Thanks for sharing. I will have to try this out. Yours are beautiful!!!
You are back with a bang--i never saw this before. Oh so pretty.
Audrey, I'm so glad to hear from you!
Now these are just amazing! I had to look close to see that it was a toilet paper roll. Yours look fabulous! I can't wait to try my hand at this for my kiddies at Halloween!!! You are just a fountain of inspiration!
Big hugs,
Patti
You're not the only one "out of the loop" on the toilet paper rolls. I saw my friend making something with them at a crop and I "wow, she's crazy", it turned out to be a beautiful gift card holder. I have several save but can't seem to come of with anything. Yours, as well as your friend's, are beautiful!!!
Beautiful job! Your bags are gorgeous!!!! Who knew tp rolls could be so useful...rofl! So glad to see you back and at it! I hope it will continue! Many blessings my crafty friend!
