Buh-bye Butterfly!

As you all know I am in the process of trying to create a picture wall for the living room.

 Well I thought I had a TON of black frames to help me out with it, I buy them whenever I see  them on sale and stock pile them until I need them!  But,  it seems I goofed a little, cause when I pulled this one out of the closet it had this all over it!

Gasp!

I mean can you imagine!  I almost threw the offending frame out on the spot, how could I totally not have noticed that when I bought it!  I think I went a little crazy a while back, JoAnn's was having a frame sale and I think I was blinded by the 75% off.  After a quick glance at the other frames, it seems this is the only one that came with this extra little surprise.  Good, but now what was I going to do with it?

 I couldn't find the receipt or I definitely would have returned it!  So, it sat in the closet for a few months until I pulled it out the other day and got to thinking.   

( sorry about the blanket, I was terribly cold while I was working on this!)

First, I tried scratching it off.... but that didn't work, which I seriously couldn't believe. What was this stuff made out of??  Hmmmm, now what?  Then I pulled out one of these....

Yup, extra power! Then I got to work, and boy did I work, this stuff seriously did not want to come off!

But I'm stubborn and I needed the frame.  I'm trying to work with what I have people!  haha!  At least I got an arm workout!

It took about thirty minutes,  but I got the stubborn little butterfly off, thank goodness!

See totally butterfly free!

Now it's ready for me to add a picture!
