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.

It does not work but is special to me.
