  1. Hello Fran, your altered matchbox is gorgeous, what a wonderful Mother's Day gift it'll make someone. Love the way you've embellished it. I've made a few altered matchboxes myself and always enjoy doing them.

    Hope you enjoy OWOA,

  2. I love how one can just look at their stash and just create a thing of beauty from it all. I love what you have done to the matchbox. It's so delicate and charming. I have been trying to find my way back to crafting after a rough year last year and OWOA has been so inspiring to me, and it's only just begun. So excited to meet more crafty people like you Frannie. I was looking at the rest of your blog and was so amazed at what you did to the paintbrushes. I never would have thought to use a paintbrush as art. Very creative idea. You have made me seen I need to look at things more carefully and see what else they can be used for rather than their intended purposes.

  6. Beautiful matchbox, Frannie! I love the butterflies and color scheme. I do mixed media and alter some things too, although lately mostly "altering" canvases. Happy Creating!

  8. Hello Frannie! I'm Michaele, and I live in Kansas. Your lovely lilac matchbox is going to make someone very happy! I've often wondered what it would be like to decorate matchboxes: though I'm comfortable layering paper and cardstock together for crafts, adding additional textiles in an appropriate scale is something I still have to work on.
    I do hope you'll visit me at Twigs and Tulle over the next few weeks!

  16. Hello Fran. It's lovely to meet you - I can't believe your box is a matchbox you have SO much on there. It's stunning!

    Please don't enter me into your giveaway - not because I don't love it, I do. But my Mum is sadly no longer here.

    Sad I missed the start of OWOA but loving reading all the entries anyway :)
