Years later they're still holding strong. Hope it helps! xo, s

Hey Shannon,

We don’t remember the exact site where we found our sea fan, but here’s a link to one that came up when we googled around (we do remember paying close to this price so it could very well be the same place):

Ours was flat enough to shove in a normal frame but we can see how you may need a shadow box for a thicker sea fan (which would also look amazing actually). So sorry your existing frame isn't working but we can't think of a way to flatten it other than cutting off the bottom if that's the only thick part. Hope it helps! xo, s

I ordered a fan online (thinking I'd make some quick $3 art), but mine is too bulky to fit in a standard frame :( Or, did you have to flatten yours out in any way before framing? Thanks! And Happy Blog-o-versary! Hi Sherry,

I've been to the 48 continental states with my own family, but my fiance has only been to a handful - the idea of marking with a pin of everywhere we've been together sounds like a good incentive to take more trips! I'm tempted to get a map that has major interstates on it too, and then highlight the route we took when we drove across the country together! I can't wait to start this project! I love the map idea!

We also live in a 50+ year old ranch. I started a pin collection at 10 years old when our family traveled out west on vacation. I've continued to collect pins as I travel to this day, and several years ago I started a similar interactive piece of art. I bought a large bulletin board with a black frame and posted a National Geographic map (complete with state parks identified, etc.). I can stick my pins right on there, and to the places I go that I can't find a pin, I use map pins like you have. [I've been known to stick those smashed pennies up there too, as well as a shark tooth I found in Jacksonville!] Right now the middle of the US is pretty blank for me too! Recently my husband and I hung the map in our sunroom, flanked by 5x5 photos of several of the places we've traveled! Just discivered your blog the other day, and I LOVE it!
