Treasure Box

I was wide awake last night, and this morning. Well, to be exact, I was UP till this morning. lol. 5 am to be exact. Wired, and painting and crafting. Ever have that happen ? You are so excited about what you are working on, you just cant stop. I painted a pretty tray for eBay, and a book for Etsy, and made this sweet little box. I am enjoying making these Treasure Boxes. They have that lived on, loved on look. Like each item was collected over time, something tiny, just too sweet to throw out. My Great Aunt Rozzie had a box like that. I should dig it out and post pictures. It was just a plain old box, and she wrote Rosalie's Box on the side, in pencil. Inside there were snips of this and that. I found a stack of old love letters from her first Husband that died of Pneumonia in the 1920's. There was about a years worth as he was traveling through Texas and Louisiana working on oil rigs. He was courting her and she was playing a bit hard to get. I curled up in the chair one day and 7 hours flew by, as I read each letter. Then they abruptly stopped, and I guess that's when he must have come back home and married her. Anyhow. I don't really have a box like that, just stuff crammed into every drawer, nook and cranny. lol. I think I need to make a box, with all my little snips of this and that, and throw in a love letter or two, so that years from now, long after I am gone, someone will curl up in a chair, and lose themselves for a few hours, and be filled with a million questions.*smiles*
