Pretty Pink Pen pot

Good morning everyone! I'm going for my mammogram today, not sure how that's going to work as i'm still on crutches! My Physiotherapist is organinsing a scan for my knee because he thinks the problem could be the cartlidge!

Anyhoo! Here's an altered item using an empty dried milk container and i turned it into a storage pot for my pens. I used some stashed wallpaper showing the reverse side, added some Queen & Co Washi Tape,

a Spellbinders label die, some Card Candi, brads and peel off letters.

I even punched a hole in the back so i can hang it from a hook on my craftroom wall.
