Off to Michael's

I don't know about you, but I like to hit Michael's for my basic framing and craft needs. They don't have the biggest selection of frames, but I do like that I get a 40% coupon for a single item every time I buy something. And then they're constantly having sales, so you can often get a nice frame (or other item) for up to 50% off. That's where I'm headed today, to frame my vintage magazines.



I think I need a document frame for them because some are rather thick. Or perhaps a shadow box?




Oh yeah, and I have to mow the lawn, do laundry, get serious about a veggie and herb garden, too. Holiday weekend? What holiday!? I've been cleaning up a storm since Friday night. Oh well, at least it's been beautiful so far, and I have been able to spend some good quality time with my hubby, family, and pets.

Happy rest-of-the-weekend, everyone!

Gaudy but frilly

I made this wreath the other day. It was very pretty and vivid when I made it, but now that I see it hanging on my front door, I'm not so sure that it's not weird or too goofy looking. Oh well, it's pink and white and bright, and who cares what it looks like?

Daisy chain

Does anyone have any ideas on how to use these daisies for a mobile project for a baby's room? Sam is having a baby girl (Jane) in January, and I thought it'd be neat to convert this daisy garland into a mobile of some sort. I was thinking of maybe adding other flowers or bugs or something to it. Georgia put these daisies on my desk to welcome me back to work after my honeymoon in August, and I definitely want to use them for something cool. Ideas?

And by the way, I was taking pix of the daisies with my iPhone, and for some reason it freaked out and took this weird divided image with the different angles and such. I thought the image was really cool and decided to use it for this post. I wish I could make another photo effect like that again on purpose, but I can't get it to work. I've heard of some neat apps for the camera on the iPhones, but I haven't downloaded any yet. Any suggestions?
