Make a Small Lidded Box

On today’s Coffee and Cards with Michelle, let’s make a small lidded box with Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel and the Breathtaking Bouquet background stamp.  Read more for measurements and directions.

Happy Easter weekend! While this holiday may be very different than we imagined, we can still celebrate. I still plan on making Easter dinner even if it’s just for my son and I.  I’ve got a ham in the freezer and it makes me feel good knowing we’ll have plenty of leftovers next week. In fact, I’m really looking forward to leftover ham sandwiches and making a pot of bean soup with the ham bone. My fresh produce box delivery arrived yesterday, so I’ve got some nice spring asparagus and strawberries, too. I think we’ll with my parents and my sister’s family so we can spend our Easter ‘together’. 

To celebrate Easter, let’s make a small lidded box. It’s perfect for holding special Easter chocolates.  What is your favorite Easter chocolate? My son and I both love Reese’s chocolate peanut butter eggs.  But I also love Robin’s Eggs.  Honestly, I’m not a big chocolate fan, but, I’ll make an exception and have a bit or two.  I’ll let you in on a secret: the Easter Bunny’s told me he’s bringing me a special wine delivery in a week or so. 

Today’s small lidded box showcases Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel, two of the 2018-2020 outgoing In Colors.  Now, before the retirement list is announced, is the best time to stock up on refills you need.
