I like the altoid boxes. I have an old altoid box, with a pad of sticky notes and a golf pencil, stuck in my car's door storage. It comes in handy at a stoplight after a line has stuck! I don't know if I still get a vote, but I like your second poem.Diane Mayrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767689319000732296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-9542068365658040162014-06-08T13:33:09.816-07:002014-06-08T13:33:09.816-07:00Joy,

Raleigh has a Krispy Kream race and many of the morning functions I attended served these delightful, yummy, heavenly doughnuts.<br />I thought it was wonderful when Harrod's in England started selling them.

I was in a gift shop and they had "Prayer Boxes" with the paper and pens for writing down our worries and giving them to God. I love little boxes and I knew immediately how I could use the boxes to make poetry boxes. I had so much fun putting these together with some old decoupage rubbies I'd found at the Thrift Shop.<br />I hope all is going well for you. Happy Doughnut Day.<br />ReplyDeleteJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.com
