The Tower Project Done!

For the Gent in your life...The Tower or The Tower of Love....

As promised, The Tower project and tutorial are done and ready for your perusal and download. First a little background because I'm that kind of person! 

For some strange reason, I never think of something I create as mine.  When this was completed, I thought... I want one of these!  This box could be made up in so many different ways and have multiple uses.  Three individual boxes make up the tower.  By unlatching and removing a section a new surprise is found.  As a Valentine present, this box would be perfect filled with chocolates and sweets for your Sugar Honey!  Since this was my Valentine to me, I placed my favorite things.  Unfortunately,  I couldn't squeeze my Mom's infamous chocolate meringue pie or my Sister's delectable dutch apple pie inside so I opted for the next best, chocolates, nuts and mints!  I also can sit for hours and eat those old fashioned pink wintergreen lozenges...Remember those?  In fact, not too long ago I bought a 5 pound bag from an online retailer and they were gone in a week!  Don't ask!  LOL!

When this box is emptied of the sweet contents enclosed, what a great place to store cuff links, change, jewelry, tickets, sunglasses, reading glasses, gifts the kids made...the list goes on and on...

The Tower...I hope you like it as much as I do!

Thanks For Looking!

Love,love,love, you have outdone yourself. I would love to see you do a show on USTREAM. thanks for sharing all your designs with us,you're the BEST!

Glad to see you back. This is incredible! I have one question for you....is this the easy, quick project you had for us? I would have to start on mine now, for next Christmas! I love this and it just might get me to give box making a try (or go to Michaels and find some pre-made and cheat!) I am having issues with Conversation Heart candies disappearing at my house. I forgot about the "pepto" candies, thanks for the memories.

[Sarah]

Wow! Another fabulous project!

Where oh where did you get the latch for the top and latches to hold the layers together?

Geez .... yet another FABULOUS project Jim. I love that your projects have a masculine flavor to them, even the heart project - very masculine. I like that because I could make them for husband without him rolling his eyes LOL. This tower of boxes? GREAT! He will love it! You are so generous to share it with us. I really hope someday u start doing ustream. You would be a big hit! Thanks sooo much for sharing!!

[kat]

This is really awesome - I love how as you "peel" each layer off there is a new surprise! All the details and hardware are fabulous - who knows, maybe Tim will ask you to design something for him at his next CHA?

[Angelica]

And....it looks real cool too :)
But seriously, LOVE IT!!!!

Oops...posted to the card comment (which is ALSO so special! So here we go again: As Penny on "Happy Endings" loves to say, "Ahmahzing!" Definitely a winner, Jim. And of course I remember those pink candies - they were my Grandmother Boone's favorites, too! xox
