I had heard rumors that people were using altoid tins for stuff, and I did a search on Google until I found a picture of one, so I could see what they meant. Since then I have also seen altoid tins made into little suitcases. They are too cute. You put a handle out of leather cord (or whatever) through the holes you drilled. You decorate, collage, decoupage, whatever, the outside with little country emblems you cut from scrapbook paper. Then you use the inside to commemorate a particular moment of a memorable trip you had to that country... or state... you know. A set of them on a bookshelf would be really great, I think! I don't travel much, but I did take Amtrak up to my parents house so I may do one on that. I have already got one layout done from up there. It is under my webshots and it is called "new layout"

Star,

I'm still catching up on posts and just had to say the pocket shrines are cooooool! What do you do with it? I hadn't seen those before, but they're really neat.
