It's almost Valentine's Day which means my inner craft geek gets to come out! Part of me gets really excited about this and part of me thinks it sounds like a lot of work. Luckily, Audrie and I were able to agree on a creative yet not-too-much-work box.

We searched Pinterest high and low. There were Pony and Minion boxes but we both liked this mailbox. I got the idea from this Little Red Window post. Her how-to is really good so if you're going to make this box, I highly recommend you follow her instructions. If you want some pointers on what not to do, read on. I'm very happy with our finished product but I guarantee ours took more time and more coats of paint than hers. Here's what we ended up with.
