ideas galore

The middle of 2010 I really started to become a blogaholic.  I started out just following a few, but then I would follow the links on blog pages to other blogs and I just keep on adding blogs to follow! (Let's see how many times I can type the word blog, lol)  I scaled back a few but there are so many fantastic ideas on blogs that I just love to read through them all.

Take Christmas for example.  In December there seemed to be an overwhelming plethora of ideas coming at me from so many directions.  Sewing ideas, baking ideas, handmade gifts, wood gifts...you get the idea.  Well I came across this one on Shanty2Chic, and I thought it was such a cute twist on a picture frame that I had to try it.  I made a few and loved them!  I gave them to a few family members, and unless they were giving me one of the old Christmas lines of how much they loved it, I think they really liked them.  Unfortunately, I only got a picture of one of them....didn't think I would ever be blogging about it, but will try to get pictures of some other ones.

Sorry for the not so great pictures but I had to take it with my phone and I have an ancient phone.  (I promise future pictures will be so much better!)

So, this was my fist project that I actually tried off of one of the blogs that I read, and if I do say so myself....they came out great!  I plan on being inspired and trying out many more this year!


*2010 I did attempt to work on a couple other projects, like a worm compost bin and refinishing a metal tv cart.  I will be posting and adding pics of those projects later. :)  Stay tuned!
