These boxes are for my women's weekend table decorations

Maybe some of you might remember the song:

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Origami boxes are found at the website below under hobby

Also, didn't this have something to do with San Francisco? (Can't really remember back that far.)

This is what I know: words and music by Malvina Reynolds 1962. Malvina and her husband were on their way from where they lived in Berkeley, through San Francisco and down the peninsula to La Honda where she was to sing at a meeting of the Friends’ Committee on Legislation (not the PTA, as Pete Seeger says in the documentary about Malvina, “Love It Like a Fool”). As she drove through Daly City, she said “Bud, take the wheel. I feel a song coming on.” Thank you

Thank you. There will be 25 women, and we have three days at the lake. It is always filled with laughter, stories, and some times tears.

It is funny - when I read your post in the personal section - that song came to my mind - you must have been humming it - while you typed - isn't that right? Hehehe! You have done a great job with each of these - the ladies will be thrilled. *4U

Yes that song has been in my head. They were so much fun to make. The first few did not turn out so hot but I now have 20 made and I think I could do it in my sleep.

Hehehe, I hope you don't have to - but I bet you get asked to show the group - how they are made.
