Macro Photography: Objects of Importance

My wife Dee, bought me a wonderful tool to add to my collection of photography equipment.  It is a portable macro photography studio set Digital Concepts PS 101.  It consists of two lights a background and light diffuser box, along with a desktop tripod.  I had taken my first opportunity to try it on the 16th of July 2010.  Here are my results. 

This was my Grandfather's watch.  Handed down to me years ago.  
It does not work but is special to me.
This photo was taken with my EOS Digital Rebel XT.

This is a collection of things that have sentimental value 
to me that have been given to me by my wife, and/or kept.  
This was the arrangement that suited me best.
