From an Old Fence, to Fabulous Picture Frame!!
I'm so excited about this project, I can hardly contain myself!!
It all started with preparing for a craft show...the ideas were flowing {and my poor dining room table, OVER-FLOWING!} I've really been digging all these repurposed wood projects I am finding all over Pinterest and Instagram and I've been wanting to do soooo many of them, but really don't have the tools I need. But THIS one was so simple!!

Are You ready for something FABULOUS?!? Well, you have come to the right place!
Hand-Painted Instagram Frames
Yessss!! I have finally gotten to this post….it has been a week, let me tell you. I have a 14 month old that has had…ahhemmm…diarrhea for just about 2 weeks now. Not to mention, cranky as ever! {um, rightfully so!} So, in between many, MANY diaper changes and impromptu bubble baths {not me, the baby! lol} I have finally gotten enough of my new project done, so I can now reveal. cgvgc cfdfcv…annnnd that was Bryson, trying to explain his side of the story:)
It all started with my Aunt Debbie’s Fall Festival and Craft Fair for her new church’s grand opening. It is at the end of this month and she had invited me to participate if I was interested…DUHHH!! I LOVE craft shows and I LOVE doing crafts, so what better way to spend my spare time {ha! WHAT SPARE TIME} than to create something for my booth. I have several different ideas for the craft show and I have started on 3 of them so far, but this project has been the most fun to make….square frames which are the perfect size for your INSTAGRAM photos!! The inside opening is 4×4 which will fit your Instagram pics. YAAAAAAY!!!
Each frame was plain, unfinished wood. I hand-painted each one and distressed the edges using a super fine-grade sheet of sandpaper and finished off by adding a burlap bow… {of coarse I had to incorporate some burlap}. I am thinking about selling them in sets of 2 and 4, but I think a set of 4 on the perfect wall in any room would be just GAW-JUS! I do believe I will be making these for Christmas gifts too. So, what do y’all think?? What other colors/patterns should I use? I need to make MAAANY more of these for the show, so I would love your input:) Have a splendid day and stay tuned for my DIY chalkboard ornament/gift tag tutorial coming later this week!

Baby's First Time at the Zoo!
Happy Wednesday everyone!
My husband and I took our son, Bryson Kyle, to the Knoxville Zoo for the very first time. Can I just say, I don't think Bryson was very impressed...he was grumpy, hot, and I think he was more interested in people watching than seeing the animals! Haha! We weren't very impressed either...not only were half of the exhibits being "renovated", the ones that were open barely had any "visible" animals in them. I understand that you cant expect to have gorillas banging on the glass, or witnessing the lions and tigers in the act of playfully frolicking around, but C'MONNNN! I guess we will save the next trip to the zoo for when our lil monkey is a bit older, and when it is cooler outside...maybe all the animals wont be hiding then....At least we got some cute pics:)
XOXO,
Marisa
