I'm doing this. I have one box all painted and decorated and now I'm filling it with pictures of me with each of the girls, a special note to each of them and little sentimental things that only they will understand. The handkerchief idea is cute too! I have to figure out how to post pics on here for when its all done, I love the way it came out. Now I just have to mail one to florida! lol

did you do the same colors or change them to fit your scheme? i wanted to play with the color scheme but i was worried i wouldn't be able to achieve the same effect...i'm creative, but my color-coordinating skills are, um, not great haha

Re: Love this idea

I changed the colors and idea a little bit. My color are Gold, Navy and Champagne and my theme has kinda drifted toward the fairy tale idea so I put a cut Happily ever after sticker in it with gold butterflies. And I cut really nice paper for the inside stop and bottom. I got fleur de lis little cards that come with bronze envelopes and matching little journals to put inside as a little gift. They were $2 at Michaels. I'm going to try and upload pics.

ok I put up a few pictures of one of the boxes that I did. I am trying to keep them all the same. But I keep adding to them or changing around.

they came out beautifully! i love the happily ever after sign on the top of the box, and the fleur de lis cards are a great touch
