Has anyone done a shadow box?

[Calypsosmommy]

   With your baby's things? I am trying to find a way to cheer myself up so I'm wanting to put together a shadow box and put her things in it so they aren't just put up in a box

[***clairelouise-finlays mummy ***]

[Calypsosmommy]

It's kind of hard to describe so Here are some examples of shadow boxes I found on photobucket

[Calypsosmommy]

   My mum says you can buy them. She's going to pick me up one on Friday :)

I look forward to seeing the finished shadow box , I'm going to have a search but also think it may be something my clever hubby could and would love to build for me and the children to fill...

   I'm not sure. I'm in the States. But here all the main craft stores have them

  My mum called me! She went ahead and picked up my shadow box tonight. It's 16x20inches and about 2-2.5 inches deep. Velor backing too! So now I just have to wait until she comes to town to get it to me. Prolly Saturday. BUT  I'm already choosing out some main things to go in it so I'll share those later on tonight

Such a lovely idea, look forward in seeing Calypso's shadow box
