Red memory box.
Using the artwork of Kurt Halsey and a shoe box painted red. Border added to the picture and added an inscription that reads, "Togetherness"
Those computer techs love their "m&m's".
By the way, I think "m&m's" is an odd construction. I know the letters stand for Mars and Murrie, so it's really "m&m's chocolate candy" with 's being possessive. But how would this really work? "Mars's and Murrie's Chocolate Candies"? "Mars' and Murrie's Chocolate Candies"? And then there is the issue of no spaces before and after the ampersand.
One of the more subtle senses we have is that of smell. When I opened my mums powder compact, and again when I took the lid off her lipstick - it was as if she was in the room with me.
The compact has a photo of her when she was 17 instead of powder, the blotter has the stain of her lipstick on it. There is a piece of her blue chiffon scarf, printed with the image of a Christmas card dad had sent her over 50 years previously. An antique perfume bottle stands in the corner, it now hold fragrant rose petal beads, made from her funeral flowers. Lastly the mirror reflects a single pink rose - one my own daughter gave me for mothers day the year I lost my own mother.
How apropos. In '96 my dad lived in GA, and he got a bunch of tickets to Olympic events because of his job, so we split up the tickets and each went to a few events (except baseball, which we all went to). My step mom got gymnastics, and a couple of my brothers got track & field, but the closing ceremonies were fuckin' sweeeeet so I didn't care, because I got to go to that and hang out with the athletes afterward.
And now I never watch the Olympics on tv anymore, because it's just not the same. It's sooo much more fun when you're actually there. On tv it's just...tv.
Oh, and the Braves ticket is there for a reason, too. I went to a ton of Braves games when we were in GA, but that ticket was actually from their last season playing in the Fulton County Stadium, because once the Olys were over they moved to the Georgia Dome. Which was super cool and fancy, but I was still sad to leave the old stadium behind.

21st birthday box for my fashion designer cousin. contains 21 thimbles amongst other things. handmade from start to finish!
I tried this technique and it is really, really subtle. I didn't think it would be this subtle from Jennifer's video, so I stamped with the same stamp again using picket fence distress stain. That showed up better. Haven't got the stamping with water to work well. I think I like framing scenes this way.
