A Side-Tracked Project

Today while packing I came across a picture frame I bought at a flea market a couple years ago. It was a neat piece but I wasn't crazy about the color (it had a weird speckly orange and black finish - you can see it here in this blog post, about halfway down). So I got side-tracked and stopped mid-packing to go craft. LOL Priorities, right? ;)

First, I spray-painted it an ivory color. Then I lightly inked some of the edges with black ink. I had a magnet I bought at Michael's a while back that said FAMILY. I wrapped some black and tan gingham ribbon around the frame and glued the magnet on top. Then I tied a little bow on top. Quick and easy and then I got back to packing. LOL

A simple project but since it's Tuesday I'll go ahead and share at Kimba's DIY Day. :)
