I needed something on this wall behind "my" chair in the living room. I had this shelf that I bought for $1 at Goodwill and after the obligatory coat of black spray paint, I decided to use it on this empty wall. I bought the FAITH picture from Hobby Lobby for 50% off~~that came to a total of $6. But I still needed something else.

This is exactly what I needed! But this didn't always look like this....

Here is how I found it at the Salvation Army store...with two dead butterflies and a bunch of dried flowers inside two panes of glass. The outside pane is domed, so I thought there was some potential...I just wasn't sure what that potential was.

I removed the butterflies and flowers...and I scrubbed the glass and polished the nice dark wood frame with some wood oil. I thought about spray painting it black, but didn't want to cover the wood. And face it, we can't spray paint everything black!!

I gathered supplies--cute scrapbook paper, some chipboard letters, and glue. I spelled JOY out on the scrapbook paper and found a suitable arrangement. The pics here are disappointing because the J doesn't show up well in the pics. In real life the J is more prominent.

I cut around the glass and tried the frame on to see how it looked together.

I liked it this way, so it got to stay!

I hung my faith picture and my shelf and I love it!

I have always had a thing for peacock feathers....
