Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying this glorious sunshine,
long may it continue. I managed to get some 'Me' time to-day and
managed to decorate one of my boxes. I needed a box to hold a gift for a
friend, and as I always have boxes at the ready, just to decorate they
came in handy. The box itself is just over 4" square and 2" deep and I
used some gold millinery net to make a bow and added two of my gold
roses that I gilded with wax. ( love using the wax ) a few pearls and
swirls and my box was complete. My little doggie companion,who belongs
to my younger daughter and is a Miniature Schnauzer called Buachaille.
He went back home on Friday and we both are missing him already.
Kitchen is nearly finished now apart from the decorating, but we both
needed a day off ,so I found myself up in my craft room and Andrew is
enjoying his beloved football.
Sorry for neglecting you all during the last week, but normal service will be resumed before long I promise.
Keep enjoying your Crafting. Hugs Rita xxx

Hi Rita,
this is a very superbly decorated box. Love the gold roses and that embossing you have used.
I hate decorating the house all the up side down and all that.
You deserve a well earned rest as kitchen's are very hard to decorate too.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Beautiful and glamorous - so very elegant. No matter what the gift is, this box is gorgeous! Yet another technique, the wax gilding. Been reading about that, I better Google it 'fore I forget what it was I meant to look up! Your roses are magnificient. TFS such a beauty.
