Jewelry/Treasure Boxes

I love making these Jewelry/Treasure Boxes, and I especially enjoyed doing my first CUSTOM ordered one. A friend wanted a mickey mouse one, and so I did one and she absolutely LOVED it. She tells me she is going to start buying more Jewelry to get more boxes lol. Well, if that makes her happy, then okay! It's just an absolute GREAT feeling when someone really admires my work.

I personally do love these boxes, and have two of my own. Wish my hubby would wear Jewelry or have small treasures so I can give him one heheh. These are really fun to make, and though I don't actually create the wooden box myself, I think I will start doing so and making different styles. ANOTHER new hobby, HELP?!! >.<...I can't ever seem to stick to one specific thing. Since my hubby is a masonry contractor, he actually has all the woodworking tools I need to create them, how lucky am I?!!. So he is going to give me a basic lesson on them, sometime this week, wooooot. I am excited. We'll see how it turns out.

These boxes are a big hit in craft fairs, people drool over them. It takes time decorating them,but in the end it's all worth it. I came across two etsy shops whom also makes boxes like this, though, I think theirs are much better looking. Absolutely gorgeous - http://www.funwallart.etsy.com and http://www.sisterbutterfly.etsy.com. Here are pictures of my favorite boxes from their shop :D.

Etsy, etsy, etsy!! I Love etsy and wish I had more time to browse through the entire site. I usually find my "favorite" items through other people's favorite items or if they are listed on the front page. :sigh:. With baby Evan I wish there was more time in the day. But etsy is an absolutely awesome site and everyone in the face of this earth should shop there, YAY FOR HANDMADE!!!!
