when i was a teenager, i dated this guy and he was a total rebel...my mother's worst nightmare. he was the guy who you totally liked but who was too cool to show you he liked you back. i am not sure if that makes sense to anyone. at any rate, we dated for a while. well it was around {christmas} and we had agreed to 'not' exchange gifts. my mom kept asking me if i should get him something which i found odd because she didn't like him...thank goodness i bought him something...or did i? i can't remember. anyway, {christmas} morning i opened a gift from {santa} and it was a wooden box. i am almost embarrassed to admit this but in high school i loved betty boop. so, the box had a hand drawn betty boop on it and inside it was filled with hershey kisses and a little box. in the box was a ring and a note {for my eyes only}. i still have the box with all its contents {minus the kisses}.
well time went on, we broke up. holding on to such a treasure, as you can imagine, might cause a little competitive spirit to be evoked. Especially with someone who is a very handy carpenter. so for our anniversary....not to be out done....i have a new box that is absolutely handmade {without} a single nail:):)!!
here is the semi - complete version
