Collecting Cigar Boxes as a Hobby

Cigar boxes are quickly becoming sought after collector's items.  Many people actually sell and trade cigar boxes as a hobby.  The older ones are considered antiques and have a lot of value because of the style and history.   Recently, many crafters, like me, are decorating cigar boxes.  I like them because they are versatile and can be used for many different things.  I usually get the unfinished wooden boxes because I can paint them any color I want and dress them up with beads and glitter glue.

Store Brought Crafts

I was in Walmart today and I saw these two pictures. I really liked them. They are very crafty and homemade looking. I love the colors they used here, especially the Happiness Picture with the blue and purple. What I like most about these is that while they are different, they still complement each other and work together as a set. The artist who designed this used the same pink in both pictures for the heart and the flower. In fact, the color reminds me of Honeysuckle Pink which is the color of the year 2011.




Crafts Haul JoAnn's Craft Store

Today, I visited a local crafts store to pick up a few items. I found some pretty good deals. I got 2 miniature birdhouses for just $1.00 each. Also I found some lovely scrapbooking paper for $3.99. I also picked up some buttons, wooden hearts, and my beloved white sparkly glue!!
