Check out what I made last night in, oh....about...15 minutes:

It's filled with memorabilia from last year's Cleveland Marathon (yeah, I know...amazing I want to remember that one, but...it's nothing if not a reminder that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger). I put in the card they mailed after the race with my official results (and ranking among all the other runners -- which wasn't bad, actually), I also included a photo of myself running, my bib number, my finishers medal and, believe it or not, the plastic tie that held my Champion Chip on.

This all took me about 15 minutes to do. I bought the shadowbox frame at Michaels (40% off on all shadowboxes this week) for about $12 and it came with velcro that had adhesive on the one side. I just cut the velcro into pieces, stuck it on the back of everything and voila!

I need to stop & pick up another shadowbox so I can make one for my husband after he runs his first marathon at Cleveland in May.

P.S. Because some of my things (picture over bib) were overlapping, I had to use some of my double-sided scrapbooking tape to secure it.
