Stationary Box for a Friend

I made this stationary box for a friend's birthday. I don't think she checks my blog so she'll be surprised. I am planning on making 3 more sets for rest of November friends birthdays. My 4-year old daughter wants to give them to all her pre-school teachers for Christmas too and there are 5 of them. I guess I'll be busy from now on till Christmas.

If anyone is intested in ordering or coming to class to make these, please contact me at : marjo702@yahoo.com or call 702-321-7026. I will have other colors and designs of designer papers for you to choose from to make your own box.

Here's a picture of the box:
