If you looked at my pet project post the other day and clicked through to the book, the eagle-eyed among you may already have spotted the rapsiversary shrines, i.e. the shrines that pushed me past the 200 milestones. I think they have all arrived at their destination at this point (minus one which I actually left out… to be rectified, soon!) These are all little thank yous to those of you who had donated (an) item(s) to the recent birthday auctions. I’ve had word from (almost) all recipients and so I thought I’d present them now.
In a bid to work my way through my tin stash, I settled on the gorgeous Blink tins. They are beautiful on the outside and need no further enhancement.
All lined up. Blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink blink
And inside they just received a small shrinification rather than the full RAPS treatment. As usual, a project of improvisation, working mostly with images that I already had at hand, and letting coincidence dictate the theme by way of recycling materials (packaging, old leather belt) and putting my hand into the box with the magnetic words…
Here’s a small slideshow with the individual shrines.
One last thank you to you all. You rock, indeed. And now we can close the minis until next year.

Adorable! You made a commit that made me think…..you called them magnetic. Why not put a magnet on the back so the receiver can put it on a metal surface so they can have a quick peek when ever they pass? Just a suggestion.

That is a great idea. I will check this out – although it won’t be so easy to find magnets that are strong enough to hold the whole thing in place.

You should check the ones that are used to hold the curtains. They are a couple of magnets (often shaped like flowers, gems etc) and usually they are strong because they must work with cloth between them.

Oh, I have never heard of that. But that’s a fantastic suggestion. I have just this minute put an order in for a pack of them. Hooray – thank you thank you thank you!

Rare earth magnets. Tiny but strong

Oh yes, I have some of those for hanging up postcards. Mind you, the curtain magnets are thinner and stronger, I think. I ordered some last night – soon to be tested.

Guylty you are a marvel indeed! Did you see my thank-you emails? I wanted you to know how much I love the shrine, and all the trimmings, but it is outrageous that you are sending thank-you when you did so much organising the auction. Outrageous!

Ah no…
And oh yes, I have, but I have been a lazy, lazy correspondent lately. I’d like to use my tidying up as an excuse (and it is true – I finished reorganising my craft room this week – only to make it a mess again the last few days when I worked on a journal commission *sigh*). I will reply, promised!

No worries Guylty, quite understand. I just didn’t want you to think that I hadn’t acknowledged your lovely sendings. ( And I know what you mean about mess, sometimes I think what’s the point tidying when it just looks like a tip again but it’s worth it – while it lasts.

I guess the secret is to try and tidy it while messing it up. Um. My excuse is that my desk is too small. Haha. Any excuse, right. But at least I’ve done the legwork. With everything reorganised it is easier and quicker to tidy things away again.
