My dear daughter Annie filled in for us at both funerals as one was on Thursday and the other on Friday. Both brothers-in-laws stayed at the Lake District to which we have visited many times over the years, and we were both glad about that. Then on Friday afternoon we had a phone call from the hospital to say that once again Andrews knee operation was being cancelled as the theatres were being closed on Wednesday, and now we are awaiting another date.. Nothing we can do I'm afraid as it was a management decision as another hospital has closed it theatres and are going to use the one nearer to us for emergencies. Third time lucky, says she hopefully.
Anyway, I made these few boxes to hold Christmas gifts 2 weeks ago when I bought a PDF file from Call Me Crafty. Linda is an amazing crafter, and her boxes are stunning along with her cards. I became friends with Linda on FB a few months ago and she is such a lovely person. She also has some you can make on You Tube too. Hope you like them. Hugs Rita xxxxx
This little Box/Bag contains a French Manicure kit
Christmas Cracker
Inside of the 2 little boxes are 2 bright nail polishes
My Favourite Exploding Box
A Yankee Candle fits inside and the votive sits in the hole in the centre.

You never fail to astound me with your beautiful and creative presentation ideas. In fact your boxes, bags and other forms of presentation are a gift in themselves.
What terrible news this is that Andrew's operation has been cancelled once again. As you say, there is nothing can be done about it but can I have a wee rant on your behalf?!
Take good care.
Wishes
Lynne

Rita, I hope you are feeling a bit better as I'm doing this comment and gosh, that's terrible that the surgery is postponed yet again. It is hard to be patient when facing this kind of thing, just wanting to get it done & overwith. Just say there must be a higher power at work here! Your boxes are so lovely and delicate. Each one looks so perfectly decorated for the particular objects that will be enclosed. The recipient will not only receive a sweet gift, but such a stunning little box to house these in. TFS & Hugs
