Default A Christmas gift for my wife

So, late November and early December, I spent working on a "secret" project in my dad's garage (in addition to this, I was working on a different project she's been wanting done that I had to also use dad's garage for). This was one of two of my wife's Christmas gifts.

She is a Ford Mustang enthusiast (which goes well with her love of horses in general). So, months ago, I got the 45th Anniversary Mustang fender emblem off eBay and I made it into a holder for the many different spare keys we have (with some extra spaces).

I gave it to her today and she loves it. Now I can't wait to put it up so we can use it (currently the spare keys sit in a box by the back door, and it's annoying grabbing for them)

UPDATE: The holder has been hung and all our spare keys have been put on it. Below is a pick of it pre-hanging and then a pic after hanging!

Thanks guys! I could not wait to let her open it and it was very cool that she did not see it coming. Now, I have to hang it (which I am equally anxious to do, I see doing that sometime tonight).
