I set up a Youtube channel to house my little videos. So much fun! Try this link or search: Youtube "the crafted box" (using the quotation marks make it faster) ;)

Please visit my etsy store to see my newest boxes!

This time in Somerset Studio Gallery (Winter 2014)! A whole two-page article - what a great Christmas gift for me.

Check out the summer issue of the wonderful magazine Somerset Life, which features one of my boxes on the cover -  I am thrilled!!

Well, here we are again. It's the holiday season and I hope The Crafted Box will be part of your celebration this year. I've got lots more in the works so please check back soon and in the meantime, Happy Holidays!

As it happens, I have several friends who have birthdays on or near the 4th of July. So this year, I had this idea to decorate one of my house boxes for the 4th. I found these bunting stickers in the scrapbooking section at Michaels and they fit perfectly under the window, and well, voila! I wasn't sure what the yard should look like though, until I remembered a story one of my friends told me about her 5th of July birthday... as a little girl, she always thought that the fireworks on the 4th were for her! So I tried to capture that idea on the box especially for her. Enjoy.
