Well it didn't take me long at all to find a frame for this piece. It had a ding on it and some marks so I distressed it around the whole thing and then added an embellishment of a combo of 2 buttons. I intentionally framed it lower in the frame as I think it looked better. Very happy with it.


Not much else going on. I still seem to be in a little kind of a funk. Trying to get out of it.


I bought myself some treats the other day, and I think I should warn you all. Do not buy these. You will not like them. Really. (notice the bag is empty?)



Have a great week!

Someone else mentioned these eggs too, sounds very dangerous. Love your bloom finish, congrats. Setting it in lower like that looks great, I am so stealing that idea. CJ in OK ;-)
