Mailbox

Hello everyone! 

Remember when you were in elementary school... and for Valentine's day, we got to decorate a box or bag of some sort for our Valentine's Day cards?  I can clearly remember decorating it prior to our Valentine's party!  Well,  I guess my nephew's school doesn't do that.  They just asked the kids to bring "something" to collect their Valentines in.    Boring for the kids..... BIG SMILES AND FUN for Aunt Lori!!!!!!! :)   Haha.

My mom found a little Tinkerbell Valentine's Mailbox for my neice to take to school, but there weren't any boy-ish ones.  So she took it out to my neice, and my nephew asked if I could build him one.  

HECK YES I CAN!!!!

So I made him a Chargers (his football team.) mailbox
.  
The Chargers Bolt is the mailbox 'flag!!!'  It can swing up, like a regular mailbox flag.  



It could certainly hold all of his Valentines!  It was rather large.  The bottom/base measured 11.5" x 8"   I didn't measure the height, but I would guess it was around 8" tall. 


Have a great day!! :)
