This mornings project

We are so close to getting the kids' room all done.  This morning I wanted to hang pictures and do another small project that I thought would help with our clutter problem.  It turned out to be a fun project that only took a short time and everybody was able to pitch in - perfect thing to do on Curtis' day off!

The idea is that this will serve as a tack board to hold Kara's millions of art projects that are spread all over the house!  We took an old barn frame and sanded it down and then painted it white.  We spent $4 at the hardware store to buy a piece of wood that was soft enough for tacks to push into and cut it into sizes that would fit the frame.  Then I bought some cute fabric and wrapped it around the wood and staple-gunned it to the back and voila!  A quick and easy and relatively cheap project that will help organize our lives a little bit more - always a good thing in my books :)
