All the credit go to the other guys and yes they make wonderful boxes

No I do not sell any of them, they are all given away. My new website is http://www.lovinghandsmemoryboxs.com/index.html

I contacted the National Share program and donate all the boxes to them, however, there have been a few close to me that I sent one to.

Do they need to be any specific size? I am in Mexico but would not mind shipping a box or two to you when I get some free time to make them. Please PM with address and specs for the boxes.

-- Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.

Arlin, these are all very nice.
