Light Box...A Nice Surprise

Sometimes my husband surprises me.
There are lots of times when I mention something
that I need or want and he appears to not be paying attention.
But, often times, he stores it away and then I'm shocked to find that he indeed was paying attention!
So, when I opened one of my presents at Christmas,
I was so excited to find that he bought me a light box!

Besides writing this blog, I also write a DIY collumn for
Fayette Woman Magazine, a local publication in my community.
And, I know you and the readers of Fayette Woman are sick of seeing my kitchen counters in every picture! 
Well, now you won't have to.
I feel like such a professional!!!

I'm still learning,
but here are some of my first photos
 using my new light box...
I made these ornaments this year using torn book pages,
Washi Tape, & wooden snowflakes.



I think I'm going to like this!!!

Do you use a light box?
Any tips are welcome!
