Wood Block Picture Frame For Less Than A Dollar

Very creative title right? I know!

A few five months back I found these adorable mini clothespins on clearance

Now, I’m a sucker for all things mini (and clearance) so there was no way they weren’t coming home with me! I thought they would be really cute to hold pictures or notes with but then TB kicked in and they sat in the “to do” pile.

You know, TB- Tired Butt Syndrome!

However, on a recent blog tour I found some ladies who really have my number! Shanty2Chic posted some so cute I could pinch their cheeks wood frames and after I finished thinking “See the cute things you could have made a few FIVE months ago if you hadn’t had TB!” I got to work.

No I didn’t have a picture handy and yes that is a sideways Christmas card. Ha!

Now I can not only check something off my “to do” list, but my Christmas shopping list as well.

I sure hope my sister likes her present.

Since I haven’t done a CLB Cost Break Down for awhile here goes.

Cost Break Down:

Wood Board- .10 cents (Cut for FREE)

Clothespin- $1 for a pack of 50 or more

Knob- .50 cents

Flowers- FREE from scrap material

Paint- .98 cents (FREE to me since I had it on hand)

Total: Less than a dollar!!!! (Shhhh, don’t tell my sister)

I’d like to go to your blog more usually but currently it seems to be taking ceaselessly to return up.
I visit from work, and our connection there's pretty good. Do you assume the problem might be on your end?
