Paper Affection

It seems the best way to tell the story of this piece is to go back to the beginning.  Once upon a time, a girl fell in love with a piece of paper. This is that paper. Do you blame her?

Then she also fell in love with these flowers which seemed to compliment the paper.

It took a while, but the girl decided, it is time - time to use the paper. She decided this box was the one for it was just the right size. (It may seem a bit familiar.)

The decision was made that the paper would grace the outside of this sweet box she would name ‘Fairy Whimsy’.

Then came the inside – painted to compliment the paper.
