Window Pane Picture Frame

A few years ago I bought this old window at a yard sale for $5. I had no clue what I was going to do with it?!?! But I bought it anyway! Then we moved to Charlottesville and I gave it to Chad's mom. I've noticed it in their garage ever since. A few weeks ago I asked her if I could have it back. I know... I am an indian giver! I was actually planning to use it in a photoshoot, but then did not think of the glass and the glare I would end up getting in my pictures. So instead I decided to make it into a picture frame!

I planned out which pictures I would like to use. Of course they were all of Weston! Then, I printed the pics small to see if the colors would look good together. I wanted to make it very colorful. It seriously took no time to print them small... I just printed my checkout cart online. I also added a fresh coat of white paint to the window too.
I ordered the pictures through Wal-Mart.... HUGE mistake. The quality is soooo crappy and the pictures look so  much darker. I will be ordering them again through mpix or winkflash. But for now, here is what it looks like!! I LOVE it!
