YUUKO BOX...

...is now packed and ready to be shipped.

I can't tell you what's in it, until the recipient gets it (and as she's in Canada, it might take a while to make it through Customs. :D)

I can, however, tell you what's not in it.


WHAT IS NOT IN THE YUUKO BOX

A map of the London Underground of the imagination - because while I got as far as working out how to draw the lines in Illustrator and did so, I got stymied at how to make the station stops (round dots) work as a pen in Illustrator, and stalled. But it's on my List of Things to Finish One Day because it's a Damn Cool Idea [TM] and the lines made me more comfortable working in Illustrator. (In Illustrator so I could keep it in a vector format, which means I could work on it small to save RAM and resize it bigger to print out later.)

A small foot milagro - Not in the box, because I couldn't think of anything to say about it.

A small antique-looking needle case - It called for a message to be written on thin paper, then rolled up and put into it, but I stalled on what the message should be.

A kanzashi - I learned I can't yet part with any of the ones I've made. :D

A box of small square magnets with old prints of bugs on them - Too damn cute! Keeping them for myself!

A sheet of puffy stickers of Japanese lanterns - A mix of being too damn cute and being unable to think of anything to say about them.

those magnets sound rad

They're totally sweet! :D I found them on an endcap at Target and thought "Oooh, Yuuko box!"* and grabbed them. But now they're MINE! XD


* Something I've thought all too often recently. I may have gone slightly overboard.

I bought stuff for my box at Target too!
