I am supposed to be making a card for an old friend who is very ill but we all know that I don't actually 'do' cards and I didn't want to send her a 'get well' card as I know she isn't going to. :( So as the matchbox templates were sitting on the side of my desk I thought I would have a play and see what happened. I have added the Tim Holtz birdcage to the front and cut out the piece behind it so that you can look inside the box.
Lots of pretty bits for a lovely lady who always had her make-up done and her clothes looking very nice, who always had time to sit with an awkward teenager and talk about anything and everything, who bought me my first bottle of 'proper' perfume. I hope she likes it.

So beautiful I am sure your dear friend will love it, "Stunning" x x Hugs May x x x
this is perfect,more personal than a card too,x
This is touching, the way you wove the very personal story of your dear friend into this post. I am sorry that she won't be getting better. I can only hope she had a long life and has more to come.
I've never seen a matchbox made like that before, so I was totally impressed with the originality of the matchbox, the bird cage, and the inner view. As Kay said, far "more personal than a card."
What a beautiful gift for a dear friend - I'm sure it will bring much joy.

This is beautiful and so well thought of. I imagine it will mean more to your friend than a card. x
Your friend sounds like a wonderful person, and I am sure she will love your match box.
Sweet! she will love it.
Thanks for your visit and kind comment. I'm so entranced with your book box tutorial and want to give it a try - just need to gather all the stuff together. Love seeing all your AB progress.
So sorry to hear about your friend but I am sure this receipt of your lovely gift will put a smile on her face.
God Bless her.
Absolutely wonderful and so personal too. Agree that Get Well cards are unfortunately not always appropriate and so this is just so thoughtful.
Such a lovely thing to make and I bet she was delighted to receive it too:D you are so clever at designing things, I wish I had a little finger of your talent!
