This shadow box (as we have come to call them now), used to house fishing flies in a large chest of drawers. I was lucky enough to snag this goody at our local Flea Market two weeks ago. It has leaned against my wall all of this time and this morning, I decided to go ahead and alter it. I wanted it to be simple and show the wood with all of the great windows. So, I used my Thickers, One design of patterned paper, ribbon, and keys. The Thickers/Alphabet are the initials of our last name and first name of each of our 7 immediate family members. I love it and it is already hanging. Let me know what you think.
