Earrings

I joined Pinterest several weeks ago and have been gathering ideas of craft projects that I want to do one day.  My problem is that I just keep getting more and more ideas and I am not actually doing any of them.  So, this weekend Travis and I went to Goodwill to see if we could find anything that would inspire us.  I found a big picture frame with an old fashion lady holding an umbrella.  It made me think of something I saw on Pinterest to hold your earrings.
I am really bad at remembering to take pictures so this is after I started painting it.  Here is the semi-before:
And the after:

It isn't exactly like the one on Pinterest, but I can never find frames like that unless they are at a retail store for $20 or more.  It looks boring now that I compare the two.  My frame was only $3, the lace was $2 and I had the paint already.  At least now I have somewhere to put my earrings!

That looks awesome. I'm going to have to start looking at thrift stores to see if I can find a frame like this. Great idea. My earrings are out of control right now. I either need a bigger jewelry box or THIS! That would be much easier on our pre-residency budget. BTW, Travis' notes to you are cute. Eat 'em up.
