Hanukkah Memory Box

Many of you know that I have created lovely little Christmas boxes. 

I pride myself in the fact that these were of my creations.

Imagine how honored I was when a friend of my sister’s asked me

if I would create 4 Hanukkah boxes to give as presents.

Well, I completed my project on Sunday and shipped the order to New Jersey promptly on Monday.

I didn’t want to post these before my customer receives them because I want her to be surprised.

I was very concerned not to create something that would be impropriate.

IMG_3878 Let me share with you that I am very nervous that she won’t  be totally

delighted.

Keeping my fingers…

toes, arms and legs all crossed. 

 

What’s next?  Well, thoughts are racing through my head in designing something for Valentine’s Day.

Got any suggestions for me???

Well as a Jew I can tell you there is nothing there that is in any way inappropriate and where did you send them, I may have to rush over and steal it before she opens her mail!

This is a second try at a comment so if it posts twice I'm sorry.

I said oh my gosh - is there no end to all these talented crafters I have been getting the pleasure of blogging with?

I had no idea you did boxes. They are awesome. I have a Jewish friend and I am sure he would like them.

Man - you are so gifted!

These arrived and I have to say, and not because you are my sister, they are beautiful!! Absolutely, beautiful!! When I opened the box, I was taken back. I'm not kidding. I feel like I am related to greatness or something. I am very proud to deliver these to my friend. (You should have put your Little Bee insignia on them).

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
