How to Turn an Old Book into a Storage Box
I have wanted to make a keepsake box out of one of my old books for a while now. The idea of upcycling a beloved book into something practical and sentimental has been tugging at my heart.

Rather than letting it collect dust on the shelf, transforming it into a keepsake box feels like a fitting way to honour its role in shaping my love for books.
2 Years on Since Becoming Guardian's
Just 5 months old, her hair hadn't grown yet, she had lovely blue eyes, a big smile and she was very close to her foster carer.
