That's AWESOME, Grace! Those are the ones I used to use the most!!! I don't think we have a Hobby Lobby here...I've never seen one, anyway. I'll have to see if I can just order from them! THANK YOU!!! I'll have to see if I can find pics of some of the ones I've made in the past... I tried to copy all my pics from my old computer, but there is one disk that I can't open to save my life. If I can find anything, I'll post them so you can see! :)
I would definitely paper piece quilts to the "barn" lunchbox... I love working with paper... I'm pretty paint-challenged, too! LOL!
Thanks again - SO much!
Hugs,

Nini, here is what I found on the Hobby Lobby web store...
they have a white square on, but not the dome style.. they do have a circular one in white.
it's 7x4 and $6.99

OMGeepers! what a really KOOOOL idea that would be!
They could be done all faux painted unless you are "faux paint challenged" like me'lol! in which case I could decopauge the itty bitty quilts onto the 'Barn'... I could make them out of paper or upload an image of a quilt...
hmmm, I wonder if 'Hobby Lobby' website store sells these boxes?

Oh! GRACE! Did you see the domed lunchboxes? Wouldn't they be cute decorated up as barns? With quilts adorning the sides, perhaps? ;)

Thanks SO much for the link, Grace! Yes, it IS a bit expensive, but I know in the past I've paid even more than that for them. I just try to think of it as part of the cost of the gift. If I bought one all decorated up, it'd be ridiculously expensive and not nearly as nice as one that's homemade and personalized for the recipient, you know? :) I'm really excited about this! Thanks so, so much for finding them! This would actually be a fun swap project, hmmmmm???? Hugs - Nini

Nini, don't laugh,,, I found it at a yard sale, yep, and there was no label or makers mark...
Like you, I'd love to make some gifts,,, but all I can find are the little ones at the craft stores...
If I do find a resource, I will let you know,,, :>)

LOL! Oh, Grace... You're too funny! I love your lunchbox! I actually have made quite a few altered lunchboxes for myself and as gifts... My favorite was a personalized one I made for my little cousin's second birthday. Her Mom went crazy over it and uses it to store her little keepsakes. Such a neat thing! Where on earth did you find your lunchbox, though? I haven't seen any in craft stores in a few years! I'd love to start making them again! Hugs - Nini

Nice lunchbox re-do. You're invited to my place (as long as you bring martinis).
