Another trinket box

Another Monday in Craft Land, due to Shiloh (puppy) not crafting as much as I would like but have managed to make another trinket box. These are easy to do at the kitchen table and small enough to sit on a tray and be moved for mealtimes. Using up bits I have collected over a period of time, those may use treasures sourced from various avenues, of which I do have a plethora but they do not eat or drink nor doing any harm that is my excuse and sticking to it.

 
A Christmas card for MIL, she loves robins and thought the shaker card would keep her attention.

  1. Love your makes this week, I know how hard it is to keep crafting with a puppy around. Our Josie is 20 months old now but still keeps us on our toes.
