Talking trash

First, I have an announcement. After reading a comment from a male blogger on another blog, I have decided to host Man Craft Monday! Here on every second Monday of the month. So during the next couple of weeks have the men you know take pictures of what they have been making regardless if it is cooking, wood working, jewelery, paper craft or anything else. Post it on their blog or your blog. Just remember to come back here and link up for all to see. Now, I just have to figure out Mr. Linky. I hope is not a complicated fellow.

Man Craft Monday May 11!

That leaves me with my entry for Kimm at Reinvented Tuesday's Trash to Treasure. I was given these little plastic gold frames that were destined for the thrift store. I have had them for quite some time. I painted them white, bought white mattes and used them to frame left over birthday invitations that I had bought 8 for a dollar at Michaels.

I may paint them pink so that the white mattes will stand out. Then again, I just might leave them and move on.

This next project I could just kick myself for not taking a before picture. It was an ugly wood bench. I walked by it several times. It wasn't until I got a block away from the thrift store that I had an idea of what I could do with it. By the time I got back to the store I was so excited I could have popped(so funny I had just typed two 0's and one p). It was $5.

I painted it white and added the tulle on the ends. There where two holes that just looked plain awkward on each end. I think it will be perfect in my daughter's room with the little pictures.
