I have been trying to feed my match book addiction to the best of my abilities. Here is the newest addition to the family.

I have unfortunately run into a bit of a road block in my creative flow. I have run out of beach sand and need to get more in order to keep making more of my little "vacations in boxes". I guess an actual trip to the beach may be necessary... Oh well, maybe I'll find some other cool things as well.

I already have three other "sea-escapes" in the works but, I can't finish them without some sand; unless I find another cool way of making the outer case "beachy" and "cool".

Meanwhile if I don't find the time to hit the beach or get a friend to bring some sand back for me, I guess I will try and make some different match-books using some other ideas that I had.

Well hopefully I will get my hands on some sand soon, or at least make something totally new and different. Either way I'm sure I will be back soon and hopefully I will be able to keep bringing you these little "Vacations in a Box". Until next time,
Peace and Love.
