Etta Thomas "These boxes are quite beautiful. The paper is a favorite of mine, but the Petaloo flowers make the package complete. Who wouldn't want to recieve these pretty boxes under their tree!" Etta please email us your address to [email protected]

When I received the Father Christmas collection and gorgeous flowers from Petaloo I knew immediately what i would be creating!  I have always enjoyed creating altered pieces for my home and as gifts for family and friends.  This year I decided to create a keepsake shadow box to showcase some photos and mementos from this Holiday of my new twin grandbabies!
