Crashes, Frames and Salad

I've been a busy girl the last two weeks...  This was by far my quickest and most expensive project of the week... YEAH ME!  Thank goodness we have insurance and friends that fixed it : )

After a little yelling.. (which I totally deserved) The hubby was amazing and supportive and cheered me up!

So we've been in the house since January and I keep not doing anything in the dining room..  and it was really bugging me...  

SO..  I visited a few stores and did a few crafty things...  and it's still not done...  but... We're closer : )

I went to goodwill and bought a bunch of.... not very attractive frames.....

I sanded them down and then used paint to cover up the uglies ;)

For my large frame I started out with the white and stain and then covered and did paper towels and water to let some of the white come through.

Here is everything on the floor getting ready for hanging.  I'll post the finished product when everything is actually finished : )

Above are where I got the supplies for this...   This whole project cost around $30!  WAY cheaper than if I had purchased any of these premade or paid for new frames.

Here is a quick salad that I made for the House Party.  Very nice for Summer.

One Bag of Spinach

Handful of Almonds

Handful of Dried Cranberries

6 or 7 sliced strawberries

Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing
