I know a place...
%5B16%5D.jpg)
A special "secret" place full of beauty and wonder.
%5B13%5D.jpg)
A place so beautiful on the outside and so worthy of holding the beauty within it.
%5B12%5D.jpg)
A place that's so "secret"...
only a few know how to unlock the happiness that is inside.
%5B18%5D.jpg)
Only those whom have the same heart and the same mind...
%5B12%5D.jpg)
know the REAL secret...
%5B18%5D.jpg)
By any chance...
Do you and I share these things enough to see the beauty together?
%5B20%5D.jpg)
If ART and BEAUTY is
in your heart and in your mind...
%5B16%5D.jpg)
for it will only be then that I can share my "secret" place with you.
%5B14%5D.jpg)
Hopefully you will see the beauty that's inside my "secret" little box...
%5B16%5D.jpg)
and appreciate all of the happiness that it has to offer.
%5B18%5D.jpg)
It is not only filled with the potential to satisfy my need of ART and BEAUTY...
%5B15%5D.jpg)
but it's also filled with memories and friendships that I will forever cherish.
%5B13%5D.jpg)
There you have it...
My special little "secret" place.
:)
This post was an Art Challenge hosted by
Lisa of Tarnished and Tattered
She asked us to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and decorate a BOX of SOAP.
Simple enough, right?
This was fun, not mention it smells wonderful too!
And most of all, thank you for coming to see

Jodie, this is gorgeous. And once again, your writing magically invites us to read along. Love the mystery and the reveal of the contents of your fabulous creation! I am so fortunate to have met you this weekend at Paper Cowgirl. You are absolutely beautiful and delightful, talented, funny and lots of fun! Have a great week! ~ Angela
This is truly a work of art and the words that went along with it, drawing us in and on. Great job Jodie, I enjoyed see it.
Debbie
This beauty is just overflowing with happiness, girl! It's a REAL treasure box and you have to hide it pretty well since now everybody knows about it.
I'm happy to hear that you are off work this week. So you have lots of time to play :-).
Big hugs and love,
Julia
Your box turned of very pretty Jodie, I especially love the handles and of course all the little artsy treasures inside!

Jodie!!!! Everything looks wonderful!!!! I love all the secrets in your soap box:) It was so wonderful getting to hug you in person! Love, Jamie
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Of course I knew I would! That is so pretty but, the inside is full of tresure indeed! Thanks for sharing your seceret with us. What time did you get home? You looked so tired when I left Vendor Night. I figured you were not long for being there either. And they still had 2 hours to go. I was pooped! I had so much fun being with you during Paper Cowgirls! And I can't wait for us to be together again at Chantal's. I wish I had more special camera sessions with you (I posted about how you helped me) because so many of my photos this weekend seem fuzzy. HUGS!

Oh Jodie......Your posts are simply the BEST!!

A wonderfully altered soapbox. Love it! We have a similar style and similar taste. I love all those wonderful baubles inside. They are great!

It's beautiful! It makes me want to open it and dig through the treasure!!
Jodie..you are so very creative...I do share with you the ability to open this box...the treasures are real, the friendships are real..there for the truth is real...
Love it...

Jodie,
First, in the order in which it appeared, my computer was trying to block me from entering your sight, is there something I should know before going any further?! Ha ha!
But truly....oh my! I can't decide which I love more, your presentation leading up to the unveiling or the actual creation. Both are just way way way creative. Your imagination and humor and sweetness is such a breath of fresh air! Loved all those goodies in the secret box as well as that handle on the side...such an inspiring piece! Xo, Sue
That almost made me cry!! LOVE LOVE the idea of a secret and if you don't understand why these items are precious you will not even see them! Your box AND presentation was just stunning!!
Aww I love what you wrote. Your secret place is just divine!
Sandy xox
I love it, Jodie! Truly gorgeous and the precious trinkets inside make it perfect!
I hope you are enjoying your day!
HUGS!
It turned out really cute! Wish I would have had time to have done this. I was in another swap that was about to eat my lunch. Now I have to sick kiddos that are miserable. Love your box and may have to do one on my own now! ~Shelley O.
Oh my sweet Jodie,
Thank you so much for not only accepting my challenge, but coaxing others to play too! You are too much, you get home from our crazy weekend & make that awesome box in no time flat! I see my binoculars that you stole from Jamie!! LOL See a lot of other treasures that remind me of our time together. I love the handle, love the image, love the inspiration & of course LOVE LOVE the way you photograph everything. You really have a gift sister. Most of all, love you! My life is so much better now that your in it! Lisa
PS That comment is a little stalker-ish. Thought about deleting it. Oh well.
how beautiful and precious!

I love this one! Especially the little handle. You are all so talented!

Oh Jodie ~ That is Beautiful, Your Little Box of Magic.... The outside is InCrediBle ~ with that Red Design, I Love it.....
You did a wonderful job with not just your soap box, but the presentation. Our world is so much about our perception and the perception of others around us, that it can only be seen by the same kind of hearts :) Love all your treasures in the box too. Thanks for sharing.
You created a beautiful little treasure box. The outside is just gorgeous with all the details that you are so good at and the inside is a just a fabulous treasure trove of goodies. I love all of the little trinkets and treasures.

So pretty Jodie! I love the 'secrets' treasure box. Thank you so much for stopping by; I appreciate it!
Hey Ms. Jodie!
I messed up--I didn't read all the directions! I thought I was signing up for something else on Lisa's blog.
I didn't do the soapbox challenge (I was out of time! My bad!).
Thanks for stopping by "El Rancho Not So Grande," though!
Your Soapbox is so beautiful. Love the details in your photos.
Hi Jodie:
You made a stunning transformation to this box. I love what you did and all the "you" that you added to it. Thanks so much for sharing your clever work and inspirational words.

The collage on the outside of your box is great, but opening it up is a treasure chest of all our favorite things- love how you used the little chain to make a clasp, too.
So lovely! It's amazing how something of such beauty could be created by using a simple soap box (: Very inspiring!
I just became a follower and look forward to coming back for future posts (:

Your box is just gorgeous! I loved everything that you used to embellish it, I read that you did it really quickly, you must be truly creative or as I chose to believe...you were listening to your heart, because all your lil treasures that you chose, made me smile the whole time I was looking at them, each one was lovely and inspiring to you as it is to us that you shared it with!

Where do you find boxes and handles like this, Jodie? I need one of these for some treasures. Love yours.
Ever so lovely! Your photo and narrative "reveal" was wonderful too. It is amazing that kindred craftswomen can congregate on the internet!
Practically perfect in every way! I love that tiny handle!
