Okay girls remember that extra Mirror Mate frame that was slightly warped and they let us keep? Well I found a perfect spot for it in our basement playroom. We had a big space that was just begging for some color and personality. I found all these different letters at an antique store...kind of makes it fun and playful.
I took the plain white frame and painted it brown and then kind of whitewashed it with turquoise. I stapled chicken wire to the back and voila...instant photo gallery:)
Tiny little clothes pins attach all our favorite photos and provide a constant reminder of how richly blessed we are...surrounded with our special people, our peeps.
Little Chick came up to me on one of my groggy grumpy mornings and handed me this piece of paper. She can barely spell at all and somehow she was able to write this note to me. Hmmmm wonder if God was trying to get my attention:)
Have a blessed day.

What a great idea...I love it! Such a pretty color:) And the handwritten note adds an extra-special touch to your "peeps" board:)
LOVE it! I did one in my old house with a kitchen cabinet door. I loved it...and left it with the new owners when we moved...it matched the kitchen. I want to make another soon!
Love the peeps too!

cutest thing ever!!! i love the turquoise whitewash with the brown. oh, you better keep little chick's note for the rest of your life, it's absolutely way too precious.
I just recently found you through Flowerpatch and I want to say how much I've been enjoying my visits. This will be a tumblr addition, and I too will have a basement wall with some peeps on it. What a great idea, fun, casual and heartwarming. Makes me smile looking at it.
Thank you,

I *love* your frame. I love that you painted it and then white wahsed it with Turquoise. The color is beautiful. You always come up with great projects. Love all of the photos that you added to your new frame. But most of all I love the note that your daughter gave to you.

LOVE THIS! Oh my word, I didn't see this earlier, because I was way behind on my blogs from our vacation, but wait til you see what I did yesterday~! I swear we are two peas in a pod. I made a frame from old blue boards and stapled wire across it! For chistmas cards etc... I just love you. :)
Ughghgh - Becky - I love your creative heart. You never cease to inspire with your projects and your words. I love this use of an empty frame and will definitely be doing this project. I am a big fan of tiny clothespins and this is the perfect way to coral the photos stuck all over in my house (in every mirror, fridge, everywhere - I love photos of my peeps too! Thanks for the wonderful idea.
