Ok, so every year I get my Mom a box of Turkish Delight, ya know the one with talcum powder stuff in. Well I decided after so many years of it being in a boring box, I thought I'd make her a special sweetie box. With a baking sheet lining so she can either add more sweeties or take that out & put something else in there. Thankfully she loved it!!
I also thought this make would be perfect for my DT make over at 'Not Just Cards' where as always our theme is ATG!
