I am so not an
 artsy person. Ask anyone who knows me. If I buy something from the 
thrift store or a garage sale, it is going in my house the way it is, no
 matter how rough it looks. I almost find it comical when people  say to
 me, "you should just sew that, or make this, or use this pattern, or 
sand or paint this," because I have no idea how to do any of those 
things.
Well, I found this super cool old frame or whatever it is 
at the thrift store for like $3, and I put it up on the wall. But it 
looked a little bare with nothing in the middle. I know that people 
decorate like that these days, but with only one big frame, it needed 
something else. Maybe it would have been fine if I had several other 
empty frames with it. But I didn't.
So I was asking some people 
what they thought I should do with it. My sis-in-law looked up some 
ideas so it got the wheels turning. Eventually I am going to have pics 
of each of my kids in each frame. Originally I was going to get the 
first letter of each of their names instead of the crosses. But I really
 liked the look of the crosses I found, and the letters I saw didn't 
have the same look.
So
 anyways, that's that. Not too much effort. And some help and ideas from
 family. But I think it turned out pretty cute!! It's also up on 
Pinterest!!

Love the frame! Great find for only $3. I have got to go thrifting one of these days. I have no idea what to buy though because I absolutely hate shopping. :p
