During Christmas break while my kiddos were gone I decided I needed a crafting project. I hit DI (local thrift store) looking for a project. This is what I found for $3:
Pretty ugly, huh? The hardest part was removing the puff paint stained glass. It took about an hour to scrape it off the glass. I was so worried it would break. Once the glass was clean I painted the whole thing white and started looking around my house for little vintage goodies.
I think it came out fantastic! I LOVE vintage shadow boxes! I gave it to my mom for Christmas. I think she liked it!
I may become addicted to making shadowboxes! They are so much fun.

Go for it Angie. You are a strong woman and I'm sure that you will be able to make your dreams come true!
The town is Payette, Idaho. I hear good things about it :)
I do believe in "signs". Being LDS, I think we could also call it the spirit (: I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Heavenly Father knows what is going to happen from beginning to end. When I was a sophmore in high school, I applied to be an exchange student for my whole junior year. I was totally bummed I didn't get it, but figured there must be a reason. That year, although I already knew him, was when I rrrreally started hanging out with my now husband. We got to know each other and became good friends. Had I been gone that year...who knows right? Don't let anyone else make your decision for you! "If you build it, they will come" (: I know I am wordy this morning! lol
I'm an American whos been living in The Netherlands for the last 4 years. Sometimes you need to throw caution to the wind and do what your heart tells you. I could of stayed in Oregon..but we all wanted something more..and The Netherlands gave us that. I knew I had one chance to get it right and even though I was out of my mind scared, I still did it and wouldn't let any lingering doubts hang around.
It hasnt always been easy but who ever said life was supposed to be a walk in the park? I say go for it. It's your life, you have a great plan..so go for it :)
