“Thanks to my mother, not a single cardboard box has found its way back into society. We receive gifts in boxes from stores that went out of business twenty years ago.” ~ Erma Bombeck
“Genres aren’t closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.” ~ Margaret Atwood
“If she knew how beautiful love is, she would already put it in a box, seal, and preserve it. So she could smell it whenever she wants.” ~ ― Denting Lara



I too am a boxaholic 😃Have purchased cheap strong cardboard ones to paint and decorate and stick small ornaments on (anything that appeals) or glue on pretty pictures from cards or magazines I sometimes went mad and bought wooden boxes ( my favourite) to decorate I’ve enjoyed giving them to friends as gifts I’m into patchwork and quilting now making lots of lovely things which I also give to friends and family Lately I’ve become enthralled with the carved gourds industry Can never attempt this myself so must look to buy very expensive though!😏

Hi, Mary. Thanks for writing. It sounds like we’re not only fellow Boxaholics, but also bound-at-the-heart crafters. I make most of my gifts to friends and family, too. I also have some of my stuff on Etsy. Nice to meet you! :0)
