Shadow boxes

I found these cute little wooden boxes at Saver's the other day. I looked at them for about 5 minutes before I decided to buy them. Call me stupid. It will never take me that long again to bring home wooden boxes of any size.   They were a blond wood without design.  Two different sizes.  Two of each size. 

I primed them all, inside and out and left them to dry in the sun.  My sister came over and was looking at them and saw the two square frames I had taken apart and was painting.  She fitted one of the frames over the top of one of the boxes and - VOILA - it all came together.  Sometimes its that easy.

So, I glued the frames to the boxes and it was pretty much over.  I taped printed paper to the inside of each box and loved them instantly.  They are about 1 1/2 inched deep, enough for a little vase, or a letter of the alphabet or some other little knack.   Put in pink paper for your little girls room with her initial on it or a black and white photo of you and your honey with a couple of well-preserved dried roses.    

 I will have some fun finding a place for them in my home.
