The Box and My Day!

I found this box a while ago at the thrift store. It must have held stationary. I thought it perfect for Kaeli's book. I liked that it had a place for her photo on top of the closed cover of the box...and I added a metal "K" in one corner... and then I printed out more photos of her and her family to put into the cloth pockets inside the books pages...

The ribbon is also a part of the box and I used it to tie the book in snugly. I wish you could feel how soft the pages are.

Before putting the book in the box I glued down more photos

making a collage at the bottom of the box.

It shows Kaeli's life from birth to now.

Hard to see but in the upper left corner second photo over

Kaeli is listening to President Barrack Obama speak in Oregon! Second row on the right is my mother, me holding baby Kaeli and my daughter!

bottom row far right is DH and Kaeli...so sweet.

bottom row far left is K. and her bro and mom.

One photo above it K. is hugging her step mom, J.

beads tucked into the box And now to get myself ready to mail it off.

I had a wonderful Monday OFF from my day job.

Paid a bill; watched a CD of Art Quilting on my computer;

Cleaned my "art studio/family room" something I do when I finish a project

getting it ready for whatever the next project might be.

Cleaned up living room, kitchen too. Nice and neat now.

Went outside in the sun to read and finish a book. See it on my side bar .

Art droppings under the patio table below.

And an arty shot of a plant for...

Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!

What did you do yesterday that made you happy, content, comfortable?

Or what will you do today to reach some goal?
