These Gorgeous file Boxes created by Susan I. Jones and featured as a project in Beacon Adhesive’s booth at Winter CHA would make a fabulous Mother’s day gift. Cleverly hide a gift within this gift, perhaps jewelry or better yet a menu to choose her meal of choice (prepared by you of course!) Afterwards it could serve as a place for Mom to keep recipes, photos or ever-changing phone numbers, emails and addresses.
