Hopes and Dreams Boxes




These are paper mache' boxes that are collaged with paint, patterned scrapbook paper, ribbon, charms, and rhinestones. A Chinese character can be stenciled in the journaling box instead of child's name. The inside of the box has a journaling square that says
Star Light, Star Bright,
First Star I see tonight.
I wish I may, wish I might,
Have this with I wish tonight.

I am making one for Sophie and calling it my hopes and dreams box. On small scraps of paper I am going to write all of the dreams I have for her and when she is older she can open it and we can read it together.
I am selling these for ten dollars each.
