I created some art for our nursery for only $3! I bought frames from the dollar store ($1 each), painted them white (craft paint & brush, already on hand), and used fabric scraps from previous nursery projects to fill them with pops of color! I’m really pleased with how cute they turned out.

As I announced Monday evening, Tad has been working on making an 8-foot-long dining room table for us!
It is coming along beautifully! He has finished the entire top and is getting ready to attach the legs. Then, all that remains is sanding and painting. We are going to paint it with white semi-gloss paint. I can’t wait to share with you all the finished product! I’m so proud of my hubby. 
As I mentioned in my post last night, I spent a little time working on an art project for the kitchen. I cut scrapbooking paper to fit the inside of these acrylic box frames (they stick out from the wall about an inch), popped the paper in, put the back on, stuck a few nails in the wall, and hung them up! The project took ten whole minutes, and that includes the time I spent hammering nails. The cost was minimal as well, since the frames were on clearance for $.79 each. The paper was $.99/sheet, which I thought was kind of expensive for scrapbooking paper, but I used less than 1/4 of each sheet, so I have lots leftover for card making or other projects.
Totally easy project! Now I don’t have to look at a blank wall while I wash dishes! And, if I get tired of this “look,” I can easily swap out the paper for something else (pictures, other paper, quotes, Bible verses, etc.). Fun!
