Flip the Lid.......

The box of goodies is in the mail to Virginia.

DRUMROLL....

But not before I got a photo of what she'll see when she finally lifts the lid on her special box.

As promised, I'm sharing what I put inside that is sure to bring a smile to her face every time she opens her box to carefully hide away her latest treasure.

After all - it's so much fun to be a girl !!!!!

 

my little secret - what's on the inside ???

Remember the box?

Plain, like a white canvas staring at you.

Where is my magic wand, I need to turn this into a Victorian Memory Box...........

Sorry it took sooo long, you know how it is, you're so excited to jump into a new project - especially a commissioned one for someone special ;-) 

Then real life gets in the way !!!!!!!!!!!  
I never found my wand so I grabbed some gorgeous paper from my Mariposa stack, and my Tim Holtz treasures - Metal feet, keyholes, charms, keys.  Found my Maya Road felt flowers in black, some lace trim, fibers, ribbon, a tag, and a crystal knob.  OH! I saved a little surprise for the inside of the box.  What do you think she'll see when she lifts the lid????   Pop in tomorrow and I'll show you.  

Things are pretty much back to normal......normal???

Well I found paw prints on my keyboard so it wasn't hard to figure out who was here !!

Thank you all for all the well wishes, Miss Juliet appreciates all the attention and she is feeling much better today.  Everything in and out in the expected manner and she's full of energy again.  She returns in a couple of weeks for her distemper shots so I'm sure we'll have another difficult few days (don't tell her yet).

I'm having a GREAT weekend, first I found Margaret's blog - she lives in Arkansas which caught my eye right away because my family is all from there (my parents moved up North before I was born).  I googled Lakeview where she is and it is only 30 minutes from Yellville where my folks are from, so we'll keep in touch....that was fun.

I bet you're wondering what this box is all about....well, I'm about to turn it into a Memory Box for a special young lady named Meena.  She is a lovely teenager and her grandma is a very very good friend of mine.  I'm sure she is going to have a lot of lovely memories ahead so I want an awesome place for her to keep them.  Stay tuned, it will be quite a transformation!!  Isn't she lovely?
