Matchbox shrine and notebook

I recently made a matchbox shrine for a friend.

I used a star ornament on the top.

"Friends are like stars --
you don't always see them,
but you know they're always there."

---Hulali Luta


Inside is a bit of magic.


"Magic is believing in yourself,
if you can do that,
you can make anything happen."

-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


There's also the moon.

"May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night
and a smooth road all the way to your door."

-- Irish Blessing


Moreover, I bought a purple notebook for my friend.


Purple is her favorite color.


I hope she loves the design as much as I do.


I certainly love notebooks. This one has a lovely inside design, too.


I tucked a paper flower ...


... and a felt heart between the pages.


"Friendship isn't a big thing --
it's a million little things."
