Vintage Photo in Make-over clock frame

 A few years back I purchased a clock for my sunroom.  It is a really neat design with birds (my favorite) for that room.  The clock worked when I bought it and worked for a few weeks. I purchased it at a flea market and paid about 10.00 for it.

I decided to convert it into a picture frame so I could still use it in there.  I chose a vintage picture of my three sisters.  It was taken in Oct. 1966 the year I got married and moved to New Mexico.

Before

After



My sisters are now 59,60 and 50.  This picture was taken at a friends home on a lake here in Kansas.

    That looks terrific and so sweet with the photo of you and your sisters.

    Do you still live in NM? I lived there for over 20 years and my family (and my husband's) is still there.

    We're back in the midwest where I grew up now.

    Blessings,
