Frames

Frames...

OK, not really a frame, but a chalkboard made so that writing can be framed in the middle. Polka dots around the edge are imperfect on purpose...they are my daughters' and my fingerprints. Made this for my husband who is doing 52 charity events in 2014 (mostly runs). He writes the event number and date in the middle each time. Check out his facebook page at

Frames I've made for friends...

This was made to match a name canvas for Baby's Room.

I've really got to learn how to get better pictures!!
