I've been saving this keepsake for a few years now knowing that I wanted to frame it. It was made for me by a dear friend of mine (my "Norwegian sister," Tone... she was a foreign exchange student that lived with my family for a year while I was in high school). It's the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, Hungry, on "aged" paper with burnt edges. I wanted to frame it because it was special to me and I simply loved it!
Since Tone did such a wonderful job making the actual art, my part was easy. I simply picked out a frame and a decorative sheet of paper (at Hobby Lobby), cut the paper to size, centered my keepsake on the paper and placed it in the frame!

I love it! Now every time I see it I think of my dear friend and remember the special meaning it has to me. Plus, I think it looks great in our dinning room!
Thanks, Tone!

ReplyDeleteI had almost forgotten about that. Can't believe it has been almost ten years! That song meant so much to me while living in Paola, it's so powerful.
I miss you guys a lot, hope to see you again sometime (not too far) in the future.
Love, Tone=)
