~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

Hello blogging friends,
Guess what? The sun is out today, I really can't believe it ...just wonderful to see! Hopefully it stays around for a while:)

Well, this is what I've been working on today...I printed Abe and George off a while ago but never had the right size frames. Finally at GW I found two of the same frames in an 8x10 size and painted them and got them in the frames, I'm thrilled with them! Now you have to bare with me because I just hung them where ever I had two nails together I wouldn't normally hang them this far apart I had to take the picture this way because of a glare.
Remember these? I found these candle holders at GW too and painted and distressed them...I'm pretty sure I'm keeping this one! I doubt I'll keep it here but like I said I hung them where I could find a nail:)
This one turned out good too...hey, for .59 I can sell it at the yard sale next weekend:)

I like this one and I used the battery candle stick in it. Poor George had a glare on him, Chris was here to drop off his clothes and couldn't get over me wanting to decorate with pictures of the presidents he also wanted to know if I was doing the other ones and hanging them.LOL


When I was removing the wallpaper from the entryway the border I had up there came completely off all in one roll so I made these next two pictures from it, there is a bigger house on it but I need a bigger frame these are 5x7.





I think they both cost me .99 a piece for the frames:)



Thanks for stopping by...love hearing from you and just love your blogs always full of ideas:)

  3. I like your first candleholder better than mine now. I took the bottom handle off and used a large candle inside the box instead. Maybe I should get that handle out and re-think it.

    Your pictures and frames look great. I especially love the ones you did from your border.

    Enjoy your sunshine!

  13. More prim eye candy to inspire us all! I especially like your wallpaper prints, Rondell. They remind me of Warren Kimble's artwork, which I love.

    Happy Mother's Day!
