Shelese asked how I store my boxes. This is my answer. Because I keep the best example of almost every design that I paint, I have over 100 Love Boxes in my personal collection, therefore, they are everywhere. These are two of my favorite ways to display parts of my collection. Also, because Love Boxes are waxed, they clean up well from sticky fingers. They do not clean up well after being dropped on tile, or bitten, which I have sadly seen, but sticky can be removed.

These Lampwork beads are too large for me to figure how to make jewelry out of them. However, I would love to tie the wedding cake and flowers from a cellophane gift bag. See them here.
I adore Sharpies and I have the rainbow pack of the fine point. These new micros look fun too. I love Sharpie for making hot pink, turquoise and lime! Fun!

For years I heard Martha Stewart talking about using a wonderful and inexpensive seam binding in place of ribbon. However, all the seam binding I ever saw came in those small cellophane wrapped packages in the notions section. It was not really inexpensive purchased that way. Last week, I came across the Hug Snug product on Ebay and I ordered four rolls. Each roll is 100 yards. The colors are beautiful and the rolls sell for $6.95 each. This stuff must be what Martha is talking about. Seam binding is very thin and fine and so it ties a beautiful bow and the stuff is washable so that you can easily make a craft that requires some kind of vintage application. I had a great experience with Zipperstop, the Ebay vendor that I purchased from. This is one of my new favorite things.
