    2. Hey Lisa, thankyou so much for your kind words! Hope you had a great day at work. To answer your question.....I painted the box in quite a thick layer of mod podge inside and out, then really pushed the glitter into it. I didn't seal it on the outside , its not going any where!

  20. A chocolate box and turning it into an ornament for the tree top. How gorgeous and the red really pops, and noticing a crocheted item again, along with other pretty material for the flowers to rest on. Simply gorgeous tree setting.

  24. I too love heart shaped chocolate boxes and have altered a few but yours!!! Oh heavens and guess what. I found a wooden tree at a thrift store a few weeks ago and snagged it knowing eventually something would inspire me but this isn't just something. This is fabulous! Thank you so much. I'm over the mom happy to have found your blog post today! Off to cobble my own interpretation of your generous inspiration. Thank you!
