My sweet, dear Uncle Allen passed away on Oct, 22nd. 2011 at 96 years old. He was the sweetest man that ever lived.
I wanted to send something special to my wonderful aunt. I wanted to send something that would truly be a keepsake. It had to be something that would not be sad, but more of a celebration of life.. It had to show his wonderfully funny personality. After much thought, I decided on this exploding box. This box is like a scrapbook in a box.
This box is for my dearest Uncle Allen:
God bless you, Uncle Allen.
I love you, Auntie Judy.
The top of my box. The sunflower is cut with a Nestibilities die.
The box measures 6" x 8". Each outer side has a pocket.
This handmade card contains a note from my mother.
She and Aunt Judy have been best friends for over 50 year.
The box before it explodes.

I love you, Uncle Allen.
You're our hero.
He is soooo much to so many people.
Every flap has a pocket with family pictures hidden inside.
Each picture has a ribbon attached.
Some pull townward.........
and others pull out to the side.
His beautiful & adored family.
My sweet, wonderful Aunt Judy & Uncle Allen.
I love you both.
