And in more than one box too! Packing up the house this week in advance of a house move.
Today I packed away all of Joannas stuff - clothes, wigs etc etc. De-princessing on a major scale.
I was asked to provide a picture of my mirror box set-up, so here it is.... such as it is. I did try to take some pics of the inside of the box, without the lid on, but being a mirror box, there were so many reflections that the images really weren't very illuminating (hehe..... ) Here is the link to the site where I originally got the idea:

However, after playing with it a few times, I've developed some of my own preferred techniques, which are slightly different than those he recommends.
Mirror tiles conveniently come in boxes of 6, 12"x12" tiles at most building supply/home improvement stores. I bought mine at Rona, and they were under $20. When you assemble the box, offset the tiles relative to one another (and mirror side in, of course) to make sure that the dimensions remain a consistent 12" along each side, or the bottom and top won't fit. This is a job best accomplished with two pairs of hands. Also make sure to completely seal each seam (I used aluminum duct tape) or light will leak in and create 'hot spots'. Tape a handle to the lid for ease of handling.
A small compact camera (preferably one that has Manual settings for exposure control- I have a Canon SX230) is required; a DSLR would be too big for a mirror box of this size. I made a screen for the camera out of poster board, and cut a hole for the lens to fit through.
I didn't like the effect of using the flash for illumination; too many hot spots. I prefer to use a long exposure (8-15 seconds, depending on the subject and the desired effect) and stroke a beam of light along the gap between the lid and and the box; you can experiment with different kinds of light for different effects.
And that's it! Experiment and Enjoy!

From Wikipedia:
The Humboldt Box (German: Humboldt-Box) is a futuristic museum structure on the Schloßplatz in the center of Berlin, Germany. It was built as a temporary exhibition space and viewing platform for the Berlin Palace - Humboldt Forum construction project and to inform the public about its future use.
The futuristic five-storey building in the center of Berlin, complete with terraces and a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Lustgarten, is 28 metres (92 ft) high and has an area of 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft). It opened on 29 June 2011 and welcomed its 100,000th visitor 50 days later. After completion of the Humboldt Forum, planned for 2019, the structure is slated to be dismantled.
The Humboldt Box features exhibits sponsored by the Friends of the Berlin City Palace (German: Förderverein Berliner Schloss e.V.) and organizations projected to be housed in the future Humboldt Forum, including the Ethnological Museum of Berlin, the Museum of Asian Art, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, various departments of Humboldt University and the Central and Regional Library of Berlin. One floor of the building also serves as a venue for private events. The Humboldt Box was designed by the architectural firm of KSV Krüger Schuberth Vandreike.

Another room full of boxes after my move. The monitor is not in a box because the box it had been in was all bashed and I took it out to make sure it wasn't broken. It was fine.

Shrewsbury station and signal box seen
the Lea Valley Railway Club "Ffestiniog Orbital" railtour going round the Abbey Foregate curve.
This tour ran from Euston to Wolverhampton where the tour split. Half the tour got on DMUs down the Cambrian to Pwllheli and back to Porthmadog followed by the Ffestiniog railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog and 40122 back to Stafford. The other half of the tour did the same circle in the opposite direction.

I'm currently living out of a box. There are more in the garage and even more in Washington State, but this is the one I access the most.

Slightly edited shot of a Box Bike Babe in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.
In the last 2 years or so, it became extremely fashionable in the best city in the world to have a giant box attached to the steering wheel of your bike. The purpose for this was originally to have more space to stow away bags and other stuff, but quickly it turned out that all these people want to achieve is to terrorize the rest of the population with their oversized boxes. City hall is seriously considering to have the bike-parking metal frames adjusted, so that those humungus atrocities actually fit in there, because unlike a regular bike, these babies require at least 2 or more parking spaces, because of, you guessed it, the boxes. I've never actually seen of these Pod People Box-heads carry anything in it, they really just seem to be there to make a point, which one, I'm not sure, but that could be my limited imagination, lol :)
Almost weekend!
One of the oldest ancillary structures on the Northern Line is this former Great Northern Railway signal box, located at the end of the northbound platform at Woodside Park. It dates from 1876 and yet has not controlled trains since 1906. The GNR installed a replacement and more ornately styled box a few yards beyond, retaining the original for other uses. The 1906 box likewise survived as a relay room until very recently, both wonderful anachronisms that pointed to the High Barnet branch's GNR pedigree.
My son has gotten into D and D. I made this box for him for Christmas (Laurie Mika style), to store his figures, etc.
“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there." Erma Bombeck

The blythe boxes are so pretty it's really a shame they get put aside or thrown out, so I thought I'd give them a chance to shine.

The shipping geniuses at Beckman Coulter sent this box. Note the "prevent back injury" and "bend knees to lift" markings. The box seemed much too light to cause back injury. Indeed, inside was only the sheet of paper with directions for the product shipped previously in a bigger, heavier box. Plus crumpled packing paper, to protect the printed paper from, um, shock and impact. Not only could they have e-mailed the instructions, they've sent zillions of copies over the years, and I hardly need another copy. This is the same company that has a history of not padding the shipments of glass bottles of toxic, flammable, expensive solvents adequately, resulting in breakage. But the sheet of paper is well packed.
