Not Just a Box

I sat there, staring at this big cardboard box. I could just imagine all the fun things we could do with it. Michael and Daelynn were inside the box, sitting side-by-side opening and closing the flaps. I could see there imaginations running away as well. 

Then it came to me. I remembered how much fun we had all had with the puppets we had recently purchased at a local arts and crafts festival.....I could see that box, not as a cardboard box that had been put together to carry a small table, but as a magnificent theater for wild plays and prose! Oh what fun it could be! I brought up my idea to my husband, knowing that he doesn't too much like puppets, but he does enjoy building things. I looked up some pictures for inspiration. 

Then my mind really started going. I remembered the wallpaper boarder I still had left over from my daughters room makeover. Then I remembered the old curtains I had in the linen closet. All I had to do was get my hubby involved for the schematics of it all.

Let me tell you, we worked on this theater for over 3 hours. But it was so fun and SO worth it! And, even if I say so myself, I think it turned out great!!! 

So next time you see a box, don't just see a box...........
