Memory Keeper Box

Great for special occasions and trips!

When I had my Etsy Shop (Miss Elaineous)  I sold many memory boxes…they were so fun to make!  I used an unfinished wooden box from Michael’s Crafts to start.  I would decoupage the outside and the inside – leaving the inside side walls of box and lid bare and natural.  Inside, I would put an embellished journal and an original paper bag photo album every time.  Other items were usually jars of some sort to hold trinkets or souvenirs of some sort.  This one was for a honeymoon couple.  The jar pictured was for sand from the beach.

I wish I still had time to work on projects like this.  I loved working on that shop and its contents.  Maybe some day I will return to it.

Thanks for reading my post! Be sure to follow me on fields of poppies
