In fact, she recently turned $10 into $34,375.

Feeback shops at Goodwill, a thrift store, where people can buy used clothing and items cheaply.

In her spare time, Feeback paints folksy pictures of large-eyed kitties.

Last April, Feeback was combing Goodwill for a nice warm blanket. Instead, she stumbled on two large paintings that she felt she'd be able to paint her kitties on--after painting over them, of course.

She paid $9.99 for the paintings and took them home. It wasn't until five months later that she fetched them to recycle them into cat paintings.

But something caught her eye on one of the paintings.

There was a sticker on the back of the canvas that said that the painting--a red diamond with blue and white stripes--had come from the Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina.
