Not the weekend I'd planned!

I should be at a craft weekend with a group of crafters this weekend. I made these gift boxes containing caramel Easter Eggs to take with me to give to a few crafty friends. Thursday evening I somehow tripped over a kerb and nosedived onto the pavement. (No alcohol involved! 🤣) After 5 1/2 hours in A & E Thursday night, my hand is in a plaster cast and my face looks like I've done several rounds with Mike Tyson! No crafting for a while as my right hand is out of action, so I ate the contents of one or two boxes to cheer myself up. 😋 xx
I used a Craft Addiction 'Cracker Die' I bought recently.  I watched a video showing how to use it to make boxes, but I adjusted the measurements to make it the right height for the Easter Eggs.  The patterned paper was from The Works.  I bought some inexpensive, mini clear hair bands to keep the boxes closed.

I just need to practise typing faster with just one hand as two fingers on my right hand are enclosed in the plaster cast.  It's times like this I wish I was left-handed! 🤣

I am joining in the following challenges:
