This post if for Rachel, this is how my "JOY" turned out. I didn't put the leaves or the bells on because i didn't have glue, and i was afraid it would look cheesy. I thought it turned out cute, although i could not find the gel stain you were talking about and the workers at Michael's looked at me like i was crazy when i asked for it. So i ended up using an antiquing stain (I think it was the same thing, but it made the white parts on the "O" a little to dark so I had to re-paint it). Anyways love ya! Thanks for your help!
