.♥. Treasures of the heart!,,♥ .

 

Memories are the treasures that we keep locked deep within the storehouse of our souls, to keep our hearts warm when we are lonely.~ Becky Aligada


my  treasure chest holds special items dear to me from
jewelry to small gifts from loved ones ..I covered a small chest  that found on sale  at Jo Anns Craft store ..its covered with  dollar store stickers and old clippings, vintage pictures, favorite ads, along with other stuff found in my to keep stash then varnished.. ,,,you can create your own box by simply using glue decorations as you wish creating your unique style..

The second  one is an updated look to a classic vintage jewelry
box with beautiful stickers from the local dollar store

Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. ~ Henry Miller

Description:
Your brain is a muscle. When you exercise it, it gets stronger. I WANT TO PLAY TOO: Don’t put it off! Do it now! Tweet @createstuff with your vow of commitment: #30DaysOfCreativity MAKE STUFF: This is your excuse to buy that tub of Playdough, unbox your Erector set, or dust off your Holga. You might be working on one huge project for 30 days straight. Maybe you are creating something new thing every day. (That’s the best way to participate!) It could be as simple as taking a picture of your outfit for 30 days to something as involved as a writing a song or making a movie every day. SHARE ON TWITTER: It’s more fun to make things when you can show them to your friends. You could be inspiring someone else who got stuck on day 12! Don’t forget to include this ridiculously long hashtag! #30DaysofCreativity Why not try a Haiku?
