I finished off my box today - love how it turned out. It was a lot of fun and sooo easy to do! I've already got boxes planned for family for Christmas and birthdays coming up... :)

I could have got the bottom piece to fit a bit better but not too terrible for my first one...

:applesauce: That is beautiful. I agree with Tiffany that it doesn't look anything like a first one, at least not how my first one would look. Great idea for gifts.
