I think it's lovely and I'm sure that she'll love it! I can't wait to see it in person!
I'd like to make a recommendation, if you haven't already. In some out-of-the-way location of the box (perhaps inside the lid, perhaps on the bottom, who knows, it's up to you...) find a way to label something along the lines of "To Phoenix on the occasion of your birth, April 2008, love always, Aunt Shaina". Phoenix will receive this box long before she knows who it's from or what to do with it. Of course we'll keep it protected and as she gets older we'll reinforce that it was a gift from you, however if the box, itself, can remind her of you even if she can't remember receiving it, that's even better.
If it's too late or you disagree, that's fine; we'll find other ways to make sure she knows just how special she is to you.
Also, I think it's a beautiful art project. Did you enjoy conceiving of it? :)
I did paint "With love, Aunt Shaina, 2008" on the bottom, because that's the year I made it, but I'm going to give it to her as a present for her first birthday. You'll be receiving something else from me soon for her birth. :)
