Remember when I gave you a little update on what I have been up to and I showed this picture of 35 wooden crates? Well I'm finally going to share with you what I did with most of them. I held a few back for another fun thing that I will share later this week.
Crates and Pallet sent me the custom sized crates. You can buy them from Home Depot's site. and they come in a variety of sizes. With so many crates, I needed to use some child labor to get the job done :)
Once they were sanded and stained, they were ready to pack!
I had over 30 bloggers who were going to be receiving copies of my book to help promote. I wanted to send them something else aside from just the book so I put together little packages for them.
I fell in love with Lucy's seed packets she shared on her blog. I printed out some of them and added them to the package along with a terracotta pot.
And here is what it looked like all packed and ready to go!
I am so incredibly grateful for all of you and my fellow bloggers. Sending this book out into the world has been scary! But knowing I have support makes it a little easier.
Keep your eye out for a post later this week all about how I used the other 4 crates!
What a great idea!! Super cute! I am so excited to get my hands on one of your books. Youve been such an inspiration in the decor, etc. In my own home. So, thank you!! Can't wait to see more :)
Wow, thank you! That is so sweet!
How adorable! What a fun way to send out gifts! : ) So excited for you and your book!
Amazing! Wish I ever got anything that cute! The shipping costs must have been intense tho!!!
Stacy, this is a huge WOW! Thanks to your boys for helping you! Your packaging is phenomenal and I wish you every success and happiness with your book and in life!! :)))
Thank you so much! My boys were great helpers when writing the book too :)
This is neat - love the presentation. I'll have to keep an eye out for this so I can share it with others. Have a Great Week!

What a cute idea. Love the finished crate and wondering what stain you used on them. I have a few I am using to store books!
Dark Walnut from Minwax. It is my favorite stain color :) Aren't crates awesome? They can be used for so many things!
