Altered Altoid Tin for another swap

So for this swap I had to alter an Altoid tin according to a theme and make things to go inside it fitting with the theme. The theme was "dreams".

The tin closed. It says "Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you. -Marsha Norman"

the bottom of the tin. It says "You are looking at a figment of my imagination. A fantastic notion made real".
