Small Wood Sign Frames

I love wood signs with sayings for life and all the seasons...

I've made and bought so many signs over the years, and I keep getting more!

I decided that instead of buying a single sign for each saying... I would have frames with interchanging sayings.

I just don't have enough storage space for so many signs! :)

 I bought these little signs from Ebay... popped the middles out and cut multiple pieces to make signs that I can change out. 

I also bought the coolest tools so I can make my own little frames!

I love working with wood and building things! 

And since my husband bought me a new miter saw for mothers day a year or so ago, 

making these little frames is so easy!

These are the tools I bought and they work great!

I glued some little knobs on the bottom of the littler frames.

(I like the way it adds a little character)

(I love it when I finish a project)

...now what color to stain them...

These sign frames turned out so cute and I can easily change out the signs.

(MDF board works great for the signs)

or 

(print a picture, poem, or saying and use cardboard to hold it in place)

Whatever you do... have a great day!

Old-time Window Frame Mirror

I love old things!

I've had this old frame for years and years. I actually bought 2 when I got them. They were covered in paint and kind of dirty but nothing a little scraping and sanding couldn't fix. 

The first one I fixed, I decided to paint and glued a mirror on the back. I had it hanging in our kitchen in our old house for a long time but when we moved I decided to give it to my Mom. 

 This second one, I painted white at first but I really loved the wood grain so I sanded the paint off (mostly) and left it. 

... at one time I had some chicken wire stapled to the back and had stuff hanging on it. 

But when I decided to hang it in our new kitchen I didn't want much on it, so I took everything off. 

It has hung plain for years...

But this year I decided I wanted to turn it into a mirror like I did my last one. 

It took a long time to figure out where to get a mirror.

The other frame I had... I took the measurements to a local company and they cut a custom mirror for me at a very affordable price, but they aren't there anymore.

So after a bit of measuring and checking... I finally had the solution...

I ordered 2 long skinny mirrors from Walmart...

pulled the frames off the front...

cut them both to the right length (30 inches)

(the width was already perfect)

laid them on the back of my window frame...

siliconed them on and waited overnight...

It worked perfect!!!

I'm very happy with my new mirror!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Gratitude

{This is everything I've ever wanted!}

When I saw this saying... I loved it!

I wanted to make a sign so I could always be reminded of what I have!

Everything!

Its so easy to be tossed about by our emotions and forget what we've been given! 

When I think back... as a kid, as a teenager, as a young adult, as a newly married wife, as a new mother... to all my hopes and dreams... what I wanted to achieve and have in the future... 

... they've all come true! 

Nothing worth having has come easy, but through hard work and love ... I've been so blessed!

So as I look at this sign... I'm grateful! 

I have everything I've ever wanted!!

Have a wonderful day!

And remember to be grateful!
