This paper mache altered mailbox is part of the “Smitten” class that I have been teaching for the past few weeks. I had such a great time creating this. The mailbox was picked up at a local Hobby Lobby store, and altered with various pattern papers, old hymnal music, Paper Whimsy image (one of my favorites), German glass glitter (on the flag), lace and ephemera. I tucked little vintage postcards and packages inside because I like the little door being open on the piece. A labor of love…but so much fun to create! :) Happy Sunday!
So sweet! Everyone should have a valentine mailbox that others can slip notes or cards (or candy!) into. Yours is just darling!
Hugs,
Terri

Dear Nancy,
Wow, I have a mailbox that came from the craft store. I was going to set up some Valentine's in it and display on my blog..After seeing this beautiful mailbox, I will decline showing my "Not so pretty" mailbox..thanks for saving me in the nick of time..!
Beautiful work, your my favorite artist!
I just love this, Nancy! I love anything with german glass glitter and music paper. You could tell it was labor intensive but oh the outcome is beautiful. I so wished I could have taken this class!
Enjoy your Sunday.
Hugs,
