The story of a "Happy Tin"

Hi everyone,
I hope you are well....
We've had another bereavement in the family,
Our nephew (Robert) lost his fight with Cancer....
To keep my mind occupied, I've made this little storage tin,
I hope you like it.

I started life as an empty tin.....
I felt so useless....
Sob, Sob....
Then Sylvia came along & covered me with some glittery wallpaper...
She loves wallpaper....


Then she gave me my lovely Googly eyes,
A cute button nose & a lovely smile....
Now I'm a "Happy Tin"
I can look after Some of Sylvia's buttons....

Sylvia even made me a cute hat,
I am getting a red pompom for Christmas....
I'm so happy....

THE END

Items used.
Empty Tin.
Horlicks Lid.
Wallpaper.
Googly Eyes.
Red Button.
White Cardstock (Mouth)
Black Beads (Feet)

Thank you for your visit,

Lots of love,
Sylvia X
