something out of nothing

today while little h napped i decided to get creative.  well, actually i did a couple loads of laundry and she was still sleeping so then i decided to get creative.  i have been wanting to get a couple of cute baskets to put on various shelves in my home but they can be spendy.  most baskets i looked at were around twenty dollars.  times that by 3 or 4 and we're talking sixty to eighty dollars just for a couple of baskets.  i don't think so.  as i was doing laundry an idea popped into my head.  i grabbed an old shoe box, some craft paint and ribbon and wallah!  my own custom "basket".
