I have started adding pops of spring around my home-

I had picked this up for $1.99 last summer-

This spring I painted it-

sometimes it takes me awhile but I do like how this turns out-

At Christmastime, I picked up a slew of calendars for $1 each at Michael's craft store.

I thought I might frame them,especially with all the bird pics!

The March page spoke to me first!

I cut it down to fit the wooden pear pic-

Took out the trusty Mod Podge

and went to town-

3 coats later and TA-DA!

How pretty!

So, keep your eyes open for inexpensive calendars-

the pictures can be framed inexpensively and

when the calendar is a specific theme,

you can frame up a set of 12 in a snap!!

Well, gotta fly- Claire
