Good Afternoon,
I saw this matchbox desk on several blogs and had wanted to make one. I added the center draw so this desk is pretty big.
My younger son suggested that I put some pencils in the pencil holder and he made the two pencils. He folded the paper to make edges like the #2 pencil. Inside the paper pencil is a tooth pick to make them sturdy. I colored the tip black to make it like real pencil. I also made a cup. And to brighten up the desk I glued the quilling tulip on it. I also added beads as the desk stands. I was thinking of making a chair to go with the desk but had second thought. May be one day I will make that chair.
I am going to link this to:

What a fabulous desk that is. I just love the little accessories sitting on top of it too. I just want to pull up a chair and sit right down there...lol
oooo...I love, love this cute little desk you made! I saw many desks but yours is the best! Such creative little boy you have with the pencils. So, so cute! TFS
Lovely. especially loved the pencils your son made and of course the quilled miniatures.
Love your desk, it's gorgeous! The matchbox diecut is my favorite! TFS
This is truly Gorgeous... :)
This is amazing! Your son has your talent, he did a wonderful job on his pencils! Mary
Wow, love this! Especially creative!
Oh my gosh is that ever adorable. What a fun project. I always amazes me what people find to alter to look like something else-like your cup and pencil. Just darling.
Bear Hugs,

Hi Helen
You know, I have been coming to visit you now for over a year and it is incredible how you never cease to amaze me with your incredible talent.
Every time I come to your blog you have created another creative master piece.
Thank you so much for sharing over at Make It Monday this week.
Michelle :-)
Helen, this is fabulous! I love everything about this! You never fail to impress me with your crafting talents, and it is obvious it also runs in the family, first your daughter, now your son...What is next, dear lady? (somehow I missed these posts, probably when I was unable to access the internet)
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
Очень идея понравилась, возьму на заметку )))
