I stole this idea

My house has had a problem these past few weeks. You see, we bought my husband a desktop computer, and ever since then, crap has been piling up on the desk. Take a look for yourself, if you don't believe me.
Yeah, it wasn't a good situation and it made my house feel all cluttered. I hated it. So, I began my search for a cure to this growing problem.

Thankfully, Crafter's Anonymous Club linked up to "tute"in Tuesday and showed me her amazing fabric covered boxes. It's like the Heaven's opened and the Angels started singing.

Swoooooon.
From the moment I laid eyes on that pretty little thang, I knew that it would cure all my clutter woes.

So, at 12 in the morning, my husband and I made the trek to Walmart to pick up a box. I picked out one of those green letter holders. I would show a picture of one, but Walmart.com failed me yet again. I would have liked to find some green chevron scrapbook paper, but, I guess it just wasn't in the stars for me. So, instead, I bought a pack of pillow cases in a fabric I adored (again, no picture to be found on Walmart.com. Boooo)

When I got home, I whipped out my Fabric Mod Podge and cut up one pillow case and got to work. As the project went on, my love for Fabric Mod Podge grew and grew. Man, I love that stuff. Anyway, here's the finished product.
Clutter be gone.

I think it turned out perfectly, if I do say so myself. I'm loving the green with the pop of pink from the sheets.
Thank you so much Crafter's Anonymous Club for the great idea. You saved my sanity. Not to mention, your other boxes are amazing. Seriously, you guys should click on over and take a look. The girl's talented.

yeah, ummmm...I know that needs to be higher on my list but I can let that clutter pile slide. I'm way behind on the laundry. It will be a happy day when the computer armoir is neatly tucked.
