Ewe and Me -- another design inspiration

I am participating in a basket lunch project. A basket lunch is a luncheon where gift baskets are auctioned off. The luncheon has a theme. Our luncheon theme is Luncheon in the Pumpkin Patch. The table centerpieces and place favors for each person attending all relate to the theme. In this case, our dessert is going to be pumpkin cake to fit our theme as well. Various people create gift baskets. Each basket is themed, but not necessarily to match the luncheon theme. Each basket must contain at least three painted items and must have a retail value of at least $35.

With that as background, my friend found a wooden box with sides made of sheep cutouts. Together we decided on the theme "Ewe and Me Is Friends" (disregard the grammatical errors, they are not as important as the effect of the theme). She has painted the box. My contribution is two mugs and a scrapbook album. I have painted the sheep, she is going to do the lettering. Each item will have the saying "Ewe and Me is Friends" painted above and below the sheep. The mugs are painted with Plaid Enamel for Glass. The little 3"x3" insert in the photo album is done with colored pencil and soft pastels on blue Color Lock paper. Here are photos of the items as I handed them off.
