'It's a Perfect Gift' Tin

This is a tin I created for Memory Box to store my gift lists as I shop for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc. I always seem misplace my lists so this little tin will come in very handy. It is small enough to keep in my purse too. I have written a complete step-by-step tutorial. Come on over to the Memory Box DT blog to see the instructions with many photos:
