I am looking for info about how to make a mini shrine - the kind of things that you put in a shrine, and what, specifically, you use them for.
I found this gorgeous page. Maybe you have some more?

I found some great stuff at the party store in the party favor aisle. Also, those gumball machines have good things too! Then scraps of fabric and my fave - paint color cards from home depot for the background...Have fun!

Ohh craftychica! great idea bout the party store! i was at the dollar store today..looking for shrine..stuff..but no luck yet!

I was thinking about raiding the gumball machine already.. I have a whole bunch of those little "homies" from the gumball machines.. (im 1/2 Mexican)..and i was gonna shrine those too! they fit perfect in altoid tins!

oh and thanks for the tips on color cards! i got like a gazillion of those already!
