Wizard of Oz Shadow Box

I would like to preface this post with the fact that I was the oldest of 4 siblings. As such, I did, at times, lord it over the younger ones - especially my sister as she would contest.

When we were young we used to dress up and play Wizard of Oz. I, of course, was always Dorothy, one of my brothers was the tin man and the other was the scarecrow (he would take pieces of my mothers broom as straw).  Here comes the part I am ashamed to admit - I made my sister play the part of Toto and follow me around on all fours. I realize there were other female parts she could have been, and she pointed that out to me on numerous occasions, but I told her she had to be Toto or she could not play with us. Horrible, I know! She probably has some deep, underlying psychosis because I forced her to play the part of a dog.

Anyway, over the years it has become a source of many jokes and we have exchanged many Wizard of Oz themed gifts to one another. Hence, here is my latest gift to her.

Supplies used: Shadow box - JoAnn's; patterned papers from The Magic of Oz by Graphic 45; Red Stickles; Pop Dots; GemTac
