The land of good intentions

Have you ever been to this land...the land of good intentions?
I seem to frequent it way too often.  It starts when I lay in bed at night thinking about what a productive
day I will have when the next morning arrives.  My brain just can't shut off.  Believe me I have tried many
times and it just doesn't work.  "I will sew this and make that and paint this and finish that...and, and,
and!  Before I know it the "next day" has come and gone and I am lying in bed once again dreaming
of this far away land.  So close , but yet so far away! {for me anyways} 

I will happily admit that some of these good intentions actually came to fruition a few days ago when
I painted and embellished these darling little egg cartons that I have had for a couple years. 

I could not decide what I wanted to do with them so they just hung out in my studio until a couple days
ago when inspiration struck.  It all started with some chocolate strawberry Lindt truffles that I found in
my cupboard and forgot I even had. 

First I painted the boxes and then embellished them with a graphic that I found from The Graphics Fairy
quite some time ago.

I added some sparkly glitter to the tops of them...

...along with some other pretty embellishments.

I tied white crinkled seam binding ribbon through the middle of the carton lid where there
was a hole ...

...and added a tag as well. This way when you open the box the tag lays right on top of the truffles.

I also took small white doilies and lined the four little egg compartments with them.

As a finishing touch I tied them up with seam binding ribbon or striped twine.

Now wouldn't you love to get one of these for Easter? I know I would. lol.
 {Now I wish I had more of these little cartons!}

Happy Tuesday and Happy upcoming Easter!!
