I'll be mailing off the box to Terri today (I emailed you this morning Terri).
I should mention that I don't have any fancy method of drawing names. I don't print out all the comments and put them in a bowl (because if every drawing took that much time...I'd have to give up drawings). So Josh is my random (and believe me, he's random) number generator. I say pick a number between 1 and 125...and without even asking me what I need it for...he just spouts out a number (and then goes about what he was doing).
However, he ended up reading some of the comments later this morning and decided that he really wanted Dawn to win because at the end of her comment, she posted Go Beavs.
Ok, so I found the box at a place down here called Craft Warehouse (I think it may just be a small West Coast chain). The lace on the box is actual lace (not paper). I got Annie's red poncho from an Osh Kosh (is that how you spell it?) outlet back when I was still pregnant with her (so it may be hard to find one now). I am feeling a lot better (thanks), but Ross is staying home from school again today. It was my class here in Grants Pass at the Scrapbook Connection that we canceled last night - not my upcoming class in Warrenton at the Scrapbook Connection II (it's still scheduled for Feb. 17th). Yes, I will try to pester Jill into coming to St. Helens when I teach. I know this post looks wierd, but I can't fix it without starting over...so it's just going to have to look wierd today.
And here's a couple pictures of the box I kept.
so glad you are feeling better!! Flu in a house of six pretty much just flat out sucks...trust me, we have done it :) Hugs to you!! T

The box is beautiful! I keep my touch stones in an old bandbox covered with wallpaper. Now that I have seen your box, I think everyone should have one in which to keep their treasures and momentos. You are so talented. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art with us.

Glad you are feeling better, hope the rest of your family is too. Thanks for showing a picture of the other box, it may be an inspiration for trying a project with a box myself. i love the idea of keeping special photos close by.

So cool that Josh saw my "Go Beavs". I just had to throw that in after that amazing Bowl Game. What a way to end the season. By the way, my husband and I are not just huge Beaver Fans, but we're also Alumni.
