I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger. Things get pretty hectic around Christmas when you're a church musician. Thankfully everything went well and all my big services are over. I even pulled up the nerve and played the harp for 3 different services.
Every year my family draws names and makes a gift for someone. This year I got my cousin Sarah. She loves frogs so I made her this puzzle box. I used 5 different boxes to modify and put together the final design. I used magnets to help everything stay in place when its closed. The frog sits on a dowel which must be removed in order to open the box and get the lid covering the drawers off. Lots of clay and paint made the box pretty. I think that she really loves it.

That box is absolutely adorable! I'm sure she loved it.

Oooh froggies!!! Love it! Have a wonderful New Year!
ReplyDeletewow the frog gift is pretty neat! Good job! Must have really been a treat to hear the harp, such a beautiful instrument, rarely heard!
ReplyDeleteHappy New year to you!
That's gorgeous!
ReplyDeletepeace, Kai :)
The box is great - how creative! & nice to do homemade pressies for your exchange - I made little felt 'car stars' for the driving family members, & little teardrop blessings stars for the kids.
ReplyDeleteI'm a harper too! I bet everyone was SO GLAD you played for those services! I'm playing for one next Sun - as we had a tremendous snowstorm from the week before Christmas thru New Years, & several things got cancelled!
I always have quite a few Dec bookings, & the harp is such a delightful & uplifting instrument!
Looking forward to the valentine exchange with mother Henna's group :)
It's beautiful, Brandy! I bet she loved it - I know I would.
ReplyDeleteAs a church musician, I can just imagine how busy you must be during the holidays - I've been a terrible blogfriend this past month, with much less excuse. Hope you had a merry Christmas - and wishing you a wonderful New Year!
Oh, How Awesome!
