Well I spent half of my day sitting here trying to find the perfect picture that would go with that snake quote I really like and playing in Photoshop. After a few hours, a dozen pictures later I finally had it all put together on the computer. It dawns on me that I don't have a frame to hang it in. Great! So I dig though some old boxes and fine none that I like or the right size. I call up my grandma and ask her if she has any. Of course she does, TONS! So I go down to her house and we are looking though old photos and I found a frame I really liked. It had some prayer that was in German in it. I asked her if I could have the frame and of course she has to go in to detail on how her grandmother gave her this prayer when she was a little little girl back over in Germany many many years ago, and so on. Don't get me wrong I LOVE my grandma (Oma) and I LOVE listening to her tell stories when she was younger and looking though old pictures. So I had a good time sitting there with her up in her cold attic.
So I clean up the frame and glass the best I could get it <i>(still dirty in the corners but I doubt it had ever been cleaned)</i> and printed out the quote & picture. Put it all together and now it is hanging on my door. I love it!
