You know what I could go for right now? Some more snow. Just kidding. We do have another 12&#8243;-16&#8243; in the forecast tomorrow though. The cold I had has made the rounds and I am still not up to snuff yet. Being sick and cooped up is making me long for springtime and bright colors so I decided for my <a href="http://www.papermart.com/HOME?origin=thefrugalcrafter">Papermart</a> project this week to whip up some pastel party favors:</p>

<p>Directions:<br />
Paint take out boxes with chalk paint (or use colored boxes also available at Papermart) and let dry. Fold a doily in half and cut out the center. Secure the doily ring around the box with washi tape. Make a washi tape flag by adhering it to half of a paper straw and insert into the side flap of the box.</p>
<p>That  project did put me in a better mood but I tell what, come Monday that groundhog better see his shadow! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!</p>
