I Made a Magazine Box!

Noelle's Highlights magazines were making the bookcase in the playroom a little treacherous with their flopsy, flimsy ways. Really, all the items on the bookshelf are this way, but the magazines have become high-demand items in the last few months. Noelle has been known to scramble up there to pick out the one or four she wants to read with me. I know this because I shortly thereafter hear her shouting for me to come help her get down.

So, inspired by Ashlee's recent blog about weekend do-it-yourself projects and a cardboard box, I give you...what happens when an English major tries to get crafty without spending any money. I'll mention that project happened mostly spontaneously, so I made it while Noelle was dancing around asking me:

"Why?"
To hold the magazines
"Can I do it?"
I guess so. You want this other half of the box?
"Sho [sure]. Why? No, help me put the glue on!"
Okay. The glue goes here, then?
"NO, NOT THE GLUE!"
If you want to do it like mommy, the glue goes like this.
"Why? Can I put some decorations on too?"
No! I...ah. Okay, that's fine.
"Why?"

And so on.

Without further ado...Here are our two completed projects. I'll let you guess whose is whose.
