Shadow Boxes Honoring the Glory Days

My darling boyfriend is an over-achiever -- he makes me so proud! Chris has run in three marathons (he's no longer allowed to run today, after having surgery on his back... twice). To honor his achievements, I put his Marathon Finisher medals in some shadow boxes.

I made black velvet pouches to hide the rest of the lanyard/ribbon in, then nestled the medal in place and pinned everything down. The actual boxes are from Hobby Lobby.

White Rock Marathon, Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, and Big D Marathon, in case you're wondering!

Since it's fitting for this post, I can't stop myself from showing off this marvelous photo from the finish line of the race in Oklahoma City:

Yay!!!
