Christmas Present

So, for the past week I have been working on my boyfriend's Christmas gift.  He is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for, so I am actually making him something. 
It started over a year ago, when I was at my youth pastor's house.  We were bored, so she said "let's modpodge some boxes!"  Now, I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, but she went into the other room and brought back this box.  Modpodge is a glue/finisher, and you can decorate a box with pretty stationary paper and make it look awesome.  So we went to the store to get some boxes, and proceeded to spend approximately five hours on the project.  My finished product was pretty cool, a heart shaped box covered in a medley of extremely colorful paper.  I knew right away that it was the perfect box for letters from a far away lover.  Alas, I did not have a significant other, let alone a distant one, so I just used it for random stuff.  Turns out, it's destiny really WAS to do that job, and now I use it to hold the letters that my boyfriend sends me.  I'm such a sap, I think this is the most darling thing :)
So when I couldn't think of anything really great to buy him for Christmas, I came up with a glorious plan:  I shall modpodge him a box for the letters I send to him!  I bought a box this past week, and immediately set upon my project.  After about six hours, I am FINALLY finished, and it looks magnificent!

  It even has gold glitter, which adds a lovely touch.  I also found the cutest little saying on a Starbucks cup:  "our friends think of us as an odd couple, but we only think it's odd when we're apart."  Of course, being the crafty one I am, I cut my cup to get the quote, and pasted it to the side.  Because, you know, we're apart...yeah.  I also got a picture frame to put a picture in, and I'm going to put a hershey's kiss/hug for each day next semester that we have to be apart...I know, I know, really sappy and cheesy, but it'll be fun :)  So that was my lovely Sunday project!
