Flashcards!

I'd like to start this post by saying...

THE BEANS ARE DONE!!!!

{For those of you who have no idea what I mean by the above statement... we are done combining soybeans and we're moving on to corn after the calves get weaned today! 

Perfect harvest so far!}

Let me share a simple project I just finished between all of the fall activities.

Here's the frame I bought at Habitat's Re-Store for $3.00. 

{Love that place but it seems to be getting a bit spendy... good cause, though.}

It's actually plastic and I never have liked that "tiger"- thingy-a-ma-jig finish.

So, I painted it with "Oil-Rubbed Bronze" spray paint, roughed it up a bit, and rubbed stain on the rough areas. 

 Here's the finished project.  A cheap frame, flashcards that I bought for $1 each, and a piece of "tobacco" - colored art paper from Hobby Lobby for $1.49.

 I'm so in love with flashcards.  I've spied a few old sets at school.  I'm waiting for the perfect time, when no ones watching, to switch them with a new set!  HA 

Get it?  There are 7 people in our family... kinda cute, huh?
