My Granddaughter Sarah had her first acting job in a play called Metaphasia , I myself thought she was brilliant but I might be just a tad prejudicial being her Grandma and all. Anyway after the play her father thought it would be nice to put together a shadowbox with all the stuff she had connected to the play. They all got Tee shirts with the name of the play on the front, so they could wear them when ever they got together to rehearse, so after the play was over they autographed each others Tee shirts. She had her script, the program ,tickets, a red rose and her Tee shirt and we all agreed it would make a good shadowbox, so off to JoAnn Fabric to get one. Now I have never done a shadowbox before and after several hour of bickering over how the shirt should be placed, signatures showing or not. Dad was for the signatures showing, but Sarah, man she knew what she wanted just the front with the name of the play on it. After much pining and unpinning we got it just right for her. She is very proud of it and we are very proud of her. Now you may laugh at our little shadowbox but just remember that when it is on ebay one of these day being sold for bu-cue bucks because she is so famous, that you knew it before it was worth so much and was just a little shadowbox.

We still need to get some black spray paint and re-finish the top of shadow box.
Other than that it looks great.
