Family Drawing

I decided to kill some time a few months ago at my favorite thrift store. I found a super cute frame for only $1.50.

After I got home it sat empty in my closet because I didn't know what to put in it. I found the cutest idea on the U-Create website. They suggested having one of your kids draw a picture of all the people in the family. If your kids are anything like mine they do this all the time anyway. I don't know why I never thought to frame them instead of hanging them on the fridge.

My oldest is big into drawing right now. I let her be the one to draw the picture of our family for the frame. I love this little picture. Even my hubby thinks this is one of the best photos of our family we have. I highly suggest letting your kids, niece/nephew, grand kids whoever it might be do the same. It will bring a smile to your face every time you look at it!

Ring Holder from an Ornament

A few years ago at Christmas time I was walking through Wally Worlds Christmas aisle. I saw an Eiffel Tower ornament that I HAD to have!! I am a sucker for anything with the Eiffel Tower. Back when I was trying to decide what I wanted to do "when I grew up", I really wanted to be a French teacher. I bought the ornament, spray painted it black, and took the ribbon off. For a long time it sat on a shelf in my bathroom. One day I realized it would be nice to have somewhere to set my ring when I go to bed, clean, or have a shower. I realized that the shape of the Tower would be a perfect ring holder! I was happy to find something that I had already and put it to a better purpose!
