The Scream Box

Tammy turns 31 tomorrow...this is where my creative energy went this week. 

Sorry! No blog. No facebook. I stink as a contributor to the social networking society this week:) I guess I can pin this so I'm contributing a little? Maybe? :) 

Anywho, if you want to make a special gift for a friend...here's an idea that I came up with while thinking about things to give one of my bestest friends:)  She has three young children and a husband to care for.  She's a stay at home Mom.  She recently moved.  She is taking classes toward a second degree.  She has a dog and a cat...she has many moments during her day that she feels like she is going to SCREAM!!!

THE SCREAM BOX



1. Cover a box in wrapping paper/fun scrapbook paper.
2. Cut a hole in the box about the size of your open mouth...I made the hole smaller than my mouth because it's been said that I have a big mouth:)
3. Make up a "prescription label" and "instructions for use" personalized to the person you are giving the "Scream Box" to.
4. Decorate the box however you please...pictures, quotes, words, stickers, etc.  It probably would have been better if I would have added pictures, but she has all of the same pictures I have and I don't want to part with my copies of them!






The definitions, product descriptions and prescription label that I used are below:

SCREAM: A long, loud, piercing cry expressing extreme emotion or pain.

SCREAM BOX: A place to store screams that need to be let out, but there isn’t anywhere to put them…and nobody there to hear them anyways!

This box was made with LOVE for YOU. 
It is to be used, as necessary, as many times a day as needed.  Examples of use for this product:
v    John is working out of town and all you really want is 10 minutes to yourself to clean or sit in silence or talk to your friends.
v    Ryne spilled the milk, Gavin dumped the cereal all over the freshly swept floor and Olivia is late for the bus.
v    You REALLY want to be hanging out with the doctor who wrote this prescription, but she lives too far away, you don’t have a sitter and it’s just not possible.
