Mailbox makeover

I wanted to make small fry a mailbox for Valentines day. I was going to make one of these over at Simply Modern Mom but I ran out of time and it was too small for fitting much mail in it. Small fry always asks if there is any mail for her when we go to the mailbox so I thought it would be fun to have her own mailbox at home that I could put random things into. When the weather warms up I think I will put it outside on the front steps so we can go outside and check her mail. Anyway I found this mailbox in the clearance isle at my favorite place-Walmart-for .37 cents. What a steal.

I recovered it with some scrapbook paper and some Mod Podge plus a little ribbon and a few chip board letters and this is what I ended up with.

She was thrilled. She calls it her "happy valentines day."
