craftgrrl | Pocket shrine gift I made for my best friend

I'm going to mail it to him but I'm really impatient when I know I've made a gift someone would like, so I took pictures and showed him anyway. He loved it, and I'm gleeful.

I made it out of an altoid tin, the tangerine kind, because I have lots of them lying around and I really wanted to make him something that had snippets of what reminded me of him and what I thought of him. It's not a birthday gift or anything, though. Also, this is my first pocket shrine. Yay!

The glue hasn't dried, in the second picture, yet. I really should not have used tacky glue; but I didn't see that in the directions of the glue until I was almost done.

I started it at 3 AM. Lucky that I bought a Time Magazine the other day, too. I cut things out for 4 hours, but ran out of words and needed pictures for it, so I cut up some things out of my beloved National Geographics. They're my prized collection, but he's worth it.

I finished it around 6:30 PM.

Total time: 15 1/2 hours?

Enough babble, the rest of the pictures:
