I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Weekend! No shopping for me.... LOTS of house cleaning and projects like this one. Started with a $3.00 frame found at a garage sale this summer. I cleaned it up and removed the sticker then applied several coats of acrylic paint. I really didn't want a complete coverage, but kind of a distressed look. I've had the acrylic paint in my stash for awhile.  I know you can get these bottles cheap at Wal-Mart and it goes a long way. I finished the frame by adding a few family themed epoxy stickers (also from a garage sale) and some coordinating felt flower accents from Michael's clearance bin that were leftover from another project. I really like how it turned out and best of all it's hanging in my craft room where I can see my family whenever I want! Thanks for stopping by for a closer look! Hope you get a chance to play along with the Sassy ladies over on the ...
