    Congrats on the 25K, Julie!! Okay here's one. Not sure if you have tried this yet and not too sure if it is doable. Since summer is in view...what about a flower pot or planter of somekind? You would most likely need to seal it so that it does not get wet, but hey...you are the 'Queen'. ;0)

    I've been trying to figure out things to alter that are from recyclables, so anything you do there would be great!

    Way to go Julie! You have probably already done this but I am a Newbie to your blog but I would like to see Tea containers altered. I have been saving the round tetley ones thinking they would be good to store little things in but i haven't done anything with them yet. I'd love to see what you come up with. thanks crystal

    Hi Julie! Wow! That's a lot of visitors to your site...Congratulations, Girl! I am totally in awe of gals who can do a blog site, as I am afraid of trying one for myself! As for a challenge, how about altering a clock or some kitchen canisters?
    Keep up your GREAT work!

    Hi Julie,
    I recently finished some Hot Chocolate tins that are relatively large - you should try altering those. Also as a recent challenge on another list, we were to take tissue boxes and alter them to make something. I cut up a bunch of Breast Cancer tissue boxes and made an accordion book of inspiration for those dealing with the horrible disease.

    I'm new to your blog, but it's very inspirational. Have you ever tried altering photo frames such as the clear acrylic ones? I guess StazOn would work for any stamping.

    Yay, Julie, congrats on 25,000 hits! How about altering a picnic table that you could either modge podge (or seal it somehow) or put a clear tablecloth over to see the wonderful artwork underneath?
