I have had this picture frame for a long time, I remember that I got it at the GW for $3.99 and it’s from Pottery Barn.
The photo is of my daughter at Disney World back in 2009, when I took her for her 11th birthday. I love that picture and I love the frame, but the matting was boring.
I have never covered a mat before, but saw instructions in several places, so I gave it a try and it turned out great. A small change that cost a few pennies.
By the way, Canada is eliminating pennies from their currency this year :( What ever happened to the old adage “look after the pennies and the dollars will look after themselves” ?
Wow, that really did make a difference!
ReplyDeleteIt just oozes fun.
love the new look....how strange to not have pennies anymore!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Mel. I miss Canadian money. It made so much more sense/cents. ;) It wouldn't bother me a bit to get rid of pennies. I think they've got the right idea. :) Just my 2 cents. ;) You needed a dose of corny this morning, right?
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so cute! And it's an adorable picture of your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading an article somewhere about how few people use coin currency. They tend to throw it in a jar for years and not spend it while it loses value to inflation and gains no interest, to the point that it's sort of like a self-imposed tax. It's sort of funny to think of it that way but I guess it's true. I'm sure I have several dollars worth of pennies in the bottom of all the purses in my closet!
It's lovely! The penny thing is a bit sad, isn't it? The idea that a single cent is not even valued any longer. my kids are hoarding hem because someone told them they would be worth money one day, lol!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture (Pop Century?) and I love how the mat works wit the photo!
