Creative times once again

wiseheartI got a Gift Box Craft Set by crelando from my goddaughter and her mother as a (very) belated Christmas present. According to the cover, it is High quality craft material for 2 large and 3 small boxes, with appliqués for crative decorating and contents 5 pre-cut sheets of cardboard, 1 sheet of cardboard with decorative pattern, 5 m string and 1 sheet of adhesive pads. All the other decorations are from my own stock.
As a rule, I don't work with such pre-cut stuff as you probably know. I prefer to make my boxes myself. But since it was a gift, and since the smaller boxes are really small (7cmx11xm), so that I can't really use the nice, sturdy cardboard for anything else, I gave it a try. The results can be viewed below:
And a different angle:
I still haven't given up on the two larger boxes; I need some sturdy cardboard for the baby journal, perhaps they'll be large enough to serve as filling material. We'll see.
I also tried to reconstruct one of Grandma's old recipes, one called Kleingehacktes. It was basically minced meet with some sort of garlic sauce but neither Mum nor I know how exactly it was made. My version was a little different, but we still found it yummy enough, and at least it was something different. It's so hard to come up with things to cook; we usually end up making the same dishes over and over again.
