Organizing Message Central - Another Altered Project

I've really become obsessed with altering objects and turning them into something new...

enter the area by our phone!

This is where we take messages but since it's mostly the two of us here, there's definitely too many pens & paper here..

so much stuff that phone cord would get wrapped up in the clutter..

and this cigar box fits the description to help out..

I used Modern Homemaker - October Afternoon scrapbook paper and

added a raggedy flower from my stash..

and here's how it turned out, the paper is super fun and very vintage looking.

Inside I stored a few pens, paper, and other odds and ends..

and now the message central station isn't so cluttered looking.

Message central is looking better these days and always nice to reduce the clutter.
