I still have this shadowbox I made of my DH's Workshop from many years ago - I cut small pieces of wood to fashion the many saws, cabinets, a heater, a compressor, his clamps, and shelves. Some are pieced from bits of wood, other things are painted to look like paint and minwax cans, or other containers to store his nails and such. I gave it to him for Christmas one year and he was flabbergasted that I was able to make something like that. It's something I treasure because it reminds me of him.

WOW!! I just had to pick my jaw up off the floor, this is just stunning Sue, I bet John's face was a picture! I can imagine the pride in his heart at having such a talented wife. Well about 12 years ago I made a dolls house with the help of my father-in-law but it needs furniture hahahaha just kidding it's kicking about at the back of the garage somewhere probably warped to bits and become a fine home to a family of spiders hehehe Your fixtures and fittings are so amazing Sue. It's a True labour of Love.
