I don't even own a record player...

But when I went to the record store and found this for $12 I just had to get it!  
At first I thought, "Oh, how cute would it be to frame it with that song lyric, 'You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby'". I thought I was so clever and got a little too excited about my cleverness and ended up with this...

I just wasn't feeling it. First off, my hand writing was atrocious. I got in a hurry which is a big no no with a sharpie in your hand! Second, it was too busy in my opinion. And finally, I wasn't feeling the lyric anymore. I felt that it was less clever and more cheesy, so I hit google to search for a new quote. Luckily the frame came with 2 frame mats already in it. With that and a little patience and neater hand writing I got this...


OK, so I was now happy with the quote, neatness, etc., but the picture went from being too busy to plain Jane so I went to Hobby Lobby and got some musical themed scrapbook paper and now I have this...


I am so happy with the finished product. It just goes to show that art is a journey. It's not always easy, but don't just drop it. If it's worth doing it's worth perfecting! I'd love to hear your comments. Let me know if you've ever stumbled across a unique article and how you chose to display it!
