Here's the inside (still have the stickers)
I found this box that I made when I was probably in elementary school (can't remember). This is a cigar box that I 'altered' to hold my sticker collection....long before I knew what altering was. This is my second altered cigar box, the first was covered with shells, cinnamon sticks, coffee beans, etc. and I made it for my mother for her jewelry way back when. Anyway, I thought this was funny - the top must have broken because there is old yellow tape on it, so brittle that it doesn't even hold it together anymore.

How cute, what a memories it must have brought back. I think I did something like that too when I was younger but I know mine are all in the land fill now. My DM doesn't keep anything she just doesn't like anything sitting around. She is big on trashing everything, LOL!!
Thanks for sharing this Cass!!!! It made me think back to childhood crafts!!!
It did bring back memories. I also realize that I haven't really changed much. I always had a collection of crafty stuff. I also remember my sealing wax phase. I still have the candle things and the seals, and a whole collection of stationary.

I think you need to do a LO with those pics and maybe finally use the stickers (you might have to have them laminated first) I wouldn't think they were acid free, but they sure haven't yellowed so maybe the were. I want to have a sealing wax phase at my age! I keep holding off because the stuff is so pricey. lol
I had all kinds of things too. I know I had several cigar boxes and I covered them with wallpaper samples. I don't even remember what I kept in them, I just remember doing them.

Cass how cool is that! What a keepsake. Should be good for a museum someday! LOL, funny how we can look back and see we haven't changed much in thoughts, like and dislikes.

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Oh how neat! It must have been really cool to find that after all these years.
