A Box Divided Against itself Can Stand

Boxes are very versatile things to play with. More so, a box divided against itself! Found this little box and Michael said, 'Will you leave it alone?' No siree!  That's why the business to go into these days is selling embellishments and I'll be a loyal customer.

A perfect display box for four varieties of tea. Tea certainly tastes better when it comes in a pretty box.

With my head still boxed in by boxes, I found these two box-frames. Gave them a good coat of paint and filled them with potpourri.  Colour coded even. Talk about an extreme case of OCD.
