Getting there slowly. My first problem is remembering the right order that Maria told us for adding each section. In truth, it is fairly self explanatory once each drawer is folded and glued.
The painting of the two pieces of board for the top and bottom was a pain, mainly because my acrylic paint had separated out. So the first inch was grey and clear oil which I needed to get rid of. I have had those paints since Barbara Gray first introduced us to the Gel Press, so I half expected problems with them.
One warning that Maria gave us was to make sure you only put glue on the top and bottom of each drawer, otherwise they will not open. That warning was ringing in my ears while I was assembling things.
The next job was to decorate the four side panels and the top panel, using the same set of Clarity stamps.

It is done. Finished. Completed. I am happy. Projects like this are not my forte. My fat fingers don't manipulate things as well as I would like, but I am not one to give in. I actually enjoyed this one, and Maria is good at giving us projects that we can all do.
So here it is.
And from the top, where I finished it off with one of the large Pergamano brands right in the centre.
And a final view before I go back to creating my PTC for Josie Davidson's swap for this month.
Thank you, Maria.

Brilliant Maggie. Perseverance won out indeedy.
Huge congrats. Hate the way stash goes off before you really use it all. Glue is worst culprit!
