xmas boxes

Photo: Four Japanese-style boxes, by Mike Carroll

Each Christmas we exchange gifts with three college friends from the Euchre Marathon days. I've intended for several years to make each of them a Japanese-style box. After a visit to Aiko's in Chicago, and with heavy use of Barbara Mauriello's Making Memory Boxes, I finally made these jewelry boxes. Included in each box was some cone incense from Triloka and a small glass incense tray (I hope my friends found them in the packing!).
