repurposing empty frames – guest book or memo board

January 19, 2012 3 Comments

I wanted to share a quick little versatile project which cost less than $10 to put together - repurposing empty frames are easy and inexpensive ways to add a little something to party. My favorite part of this project is that it can be tailored to any decor or occasion. Some of you might have seen this when I shared this over atLiving Savvy's Spray Painters Anonymous Meeting last month. Just in case you didn't or are a new follower, I thought I'd share it here as well.  This is my hanging memo … [Read more...]

My hubby knows I'm handy and can hold my own for most DIY projects but he shudders at the thought of me touching any electrical project.
