Awesome shadow boxes, love them all.
Posted by: Rea Custer | March 06, 2012 at 09:48 AM
OMG, Now I need to re-order a THIRD pad of curiosity stack. I am going to make that frame and instead of the butterfly in the middle do a picture of my eyes looking out. I wear glasses, so I think it will work perfect, and be quite the conversation piece when people come over! LMAO!
Thank you to Laura D, Jim H and Jack & Cat for making me spend a fortune on just ONE line! LOL
