Garage sale picture frame~

I of course love a good garage sale find as much as the next gal, but I can't compete with The Joe when it comes to the love of garage sales. He is addicted.  He has to have cash on hand when Saturday rolls around so he can head out in the morning and find some screamin deals.  The cutest thing is that he always comes home with things that he thinks I will like.  He found this picture frame for me a couple of weeks ago.

I didn't sand the frame because I really like the dark brown under the white.

While I was painting, The Joe kindly cut out a piece of bead board to fit inside the frame.

The bead board was a quarter from the scrap bin at Home Depot.

I wanted to make a sign with a word in each of the slats of the bead board with a picture in the corner.

Since the picture ran across the beads, I cut the bird to match so the vinyl wouldn't peel off.

Spanish Olive by Glidden is one of my favorite greens.

We have a really cool tool that shoots those little metal things that you find in the back of framed pictures. It works really well to hold the bead board in place. 

I hope you've been having a lot of love and laughter in your homes this summer! We have sure been enjoying spending time together. We just got back from a family vacation to San Francisco. We had such a great time!! I love having my children and hubby and all crammed in our van together. No one can escape!!! WAHAHAHA. I was really impressed{{and shocked}} that there was very little fighting. We had lots of treats, lots of potty breaks and I'm pretty sure I have the movie "Tangled" memorized now. Last night as we were driving, Mira kept telling all of us that we are her best friends. It was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. They are my best friends and I hope we can always stay that way!!!
