Mr. Postman

Mr. Postman - give me some mail 
I want some Valentines
From friends and true love
Doesn't matter if they're bought or homemade
just sew they are heartfelt
for ONLY me!
(sung to the tune of Mr. Sandman)

“Love is in the Air” 
“Roses are red - violets are blue” 
“Won’t you be mine?” 
and let's not forget
CANDY!!! 

Can’t you tell that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Ok, granted, I've gone over the edge with corny BUT who doesn’t want or absolutely need a Valentine box to put all of your love letters and Valentines! Last year I had made 3 of the grandbabies these adorable Valentine boxes which I found on SVGcuts and of course, now Lily needs one too! This project is sew versatile and it depends on the paper you use for the look. For the boys I founds some great boy paper last year one of which was graffiti on the wall and the other was skate boarding. And of course, girls get girlie pink and red!!!! Sew easy when cutting to cut 2 cause you never know who may want or need a Valentine mailbox . . . .

Recipe:
Various stickers and bling
Hot glue gun
Immortal Love paper for the dark red 





The Crafty Stack Paper





The little flap in the front opens to retrieve your "mail".

Hope you enjoyed my mailbox and can’t wait to see what you put your Valentine’s in.

God Bless you and thank you for stopping by!
Hugs Love, and Pixie Dust
