The Special Secret Box

Hello Everyone!!! Wonderful Friday in Sunny Newcastle today.  Today's post is a very special box I made a few weeks ago and then shared with the Craft Group.  We had a great time making it and some loved it so much they are giving it as teacher gifts at school... I do love it when I can share something special with the girls.

 Isn't it gorgeous. The box is made with three drawers inside, that separate when opened.

It is so cute and I just love it.  Took me just on two hours to make and decorate.  The instructions are following later in this blog post.

I have always loved boxes and this would be my favourite so far.  I originally saw this on SCS and immediately fell in love with it.
