The box is walnut wood with the sweetest little catch.The stamp is one by Inkadinkado that Pam had with her when we were working together. After I stamped and colored the image, I crumpled and recrumpled the paper to age it, then cut it to fit the top. I used Tac-It Over and Over to avoid a permanent bond. Like I'm going to think of something else to do with it in the next twenty years should I live that long!!
Okay I'm going to add the extra spaces now:

I do not remember if my dad brought all of the little tubes also or if I happened upon them at another time but I have 10 or 15 or them. It would be nice to have a miniature test tube stand to display all of them. Plus who knows what my wicked brain would think of to put in them!!

oh my what a treasure for sure, that is a beautiful box, and you have decorated it wonderfully, I love the stamp you used then crumbled the paper to age it. The test tubes w/ bat shit is a riot!!! I have never heard of "Tac-it" and yes, that is the sweetest looking latch! Just awesome my friend!
Peace,

I think I am batshit crazy for this one – LOL! You knocked this one out of the park! It was just the perfect thing to do with that little box. I wonder what it was really meant to be used for? Your sayings on the inside lid are so creative - up to your usual high standard. I know you will treasure this forever. Maybe you can use it with the larger dolls in a photo shoot.
Fabulous-ness! Love this altered box AND all the goodies it holds.
