Project

Katie's birthday was last week. Last night we celebrated her birthday by having dinner. I had gotten her a present, but as I was gift wrapping it in a Whole Foods reusable lunch bag (her old one was ugly) I remembered something else that drove me nuts.

HER OFFICE WALLS WERE BARE!

Since I watch her son I have about 500 pictures of him on my computer, plus a couple cute ones of her and her husband so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I picked up this fancy bulletin board with a brown frame at Walmart for $12.00. I grabbed some spray glue and pretty pins. Then I wandered over to the fabric section and grabbed a nice brown and ivory fabric.

First I cut the fabric to size. then I sprayed it with the spray adhesive. I used my bench scrape to tuck it under the frame and wala! I don't have a picture of it finished but Katie promised to bring it to me tomorrow when she drops of Dylan so I can take a picture of it with all of the pictures.

I think he office will look terrific with this on the wall!

Since I had a bulletin laying around my house and some fabric left over from when my mom made curtains for Rob, I woke up today and built him one too!

Yes, that is a Super Burrito sticker. He is that obsessed!

Ain't it a beauty? It's going to hang in his man room. I left plenty of room for new pictures. I had more I wanted to print but I ran out of photo paper so this is all he gets for now.
