Taken for Our Daily Challenge topic - 'Boxes'
I was already going to see what the camera would do with the hues of the 3 flowers and then when I saw the topic for today it fit right in. I wonder where the other 4 or 5 smaller stacking boxes went? Lime green, orange, yellow...
advice please I'm starting to wonder if I should fill in the cracks between and the uneven surface of the wall in this corner. Or I could just Photoshop the 'flaws' away. What do you think?

N Gage trains found at a thrift store. I had a small layout in the mid 1970's, this box will be a good start on another one.
UPDATE: Healthcare.com just wrote me a nice note -
"I ordered a set of Tynee's Cookies as an office-warming gift. First of all, the packaging was done with such care, from the outside box to the inside lunch pail (in which she accommodated a special request for Captain Jack Sparrow) and the ribboning. Secondly, the cookies were delicious in every way, from the texture, to the ingredients, to the taste. They taste the way that only home-made cookies can taste. It was a wonderful gift. The care that goes into preparing Tynee's Cookies will be felt by the recipient(s), to be sure."
Story behind the box:
This was a gag gift for HealthCare.com's CEO whose significant other had wanted him to dress up as Jack Sparrow for Halloween. Since it was a gag gift, I decided to buy a mini lunchbox instead since he wouldn't have really used/kept a full size Pirates of the Caribbean lunchbox.
Filled that with a few new chocolate peanut butter chip cookies and then packaged that inside a nice, simple black box with the rest of the cookies.
Best of luck to HeathCare.com, a new site that "allows consumers to take personal control of their healthcare."
First successful one!!
I started with the Dragon[knit]fly tutorial, but cut out the corners as described here. However, I managed to keep everything reasonably straight by marking the fabric as described on this blog. Box bags require a LOT of attention to detail and keeping everything straight. You really can't fudge it.
I found this fabric in my stash, and I honestly have no idea what it is or where it came from. I think space aliens planted it.

Box is varnished and each one is somewhat different due to the differences in woodgrain pattern.
Two-part box holds one necktie comfortably and protects from wrinkling in transit.
Finely crafted silver boxes called bonbonnieres, after the French word, were given as mementos to invited guests of Imperial banquets and state ceremonies from the late 1800s. Today, the custom of giving presentation boxes is not limited to the Imperial family, but has been adopted by corporations and ordinary people to commemorate the founding of a company or a wedding, or an auspicious event.
This box in the shape of a joined oak leaf box with an Imperial crest was given on the second day of the commemoration of Emperor Taisho's enthronement ceremony on November 17th 1915. On this day 2800 people attended and 4 different craftsmen's studios were employed for the bonbonnieres and 4 different designs were made.
Signed Hattori and marked with the jungin (pure silver) seal.

This post box is pretty rare. It must be more than 100 years old. The VR means Victoria Regina and it is still in daily use.
Jewelry box with spalted sycamore lid, black walnut carcass, hidden brass hinge pins, maple drawer. Danish Oil finish.

I probably won't be able to take any proper pictures of my new arrivals just yet, since I have a lot of working days ahead :( But I'm looking forward to it!
And I also just realized I will only do two more box openings, then I'm done for the year! :O If I'm able to hold back that is, who knows what cute releases there will be this summer x)
