Christmas on a dime

This year for Christmas, Conrad and I decided our budget for each other would be significantly small...due to the fact that we are currently trying to purchase a home. Filling each other's stockings this year would have to be enough. I did the ordinary STUPID stuff...and, well, Conrad went above and beyond...as he always does....LOVE HIM! PLUS: he kept to the budget...love him double!!!

We were at my parents' for the holidays, and ALL of Christmas Eve he was out in my dad's "tinker shop". I wasn't allowed to go out there. All day I thought to myself...what could he possibly be doing?


DRUM Roll please...............................................


TA DA! Merry Christmas to me!
Using my dad's tools and a few supplies, he built me this frame. The back is tin, so I can just put some magnets on pictures and WaLa!!!
(It is super BIG too...the middle pic is an 8x10 and the other four are 5x7s)


Now, where to hang it.............hhhmmmm..................?

Aren't they great? Tom gave me a great gift too. If you can't get at my blog just ask me about it.

That's a wonderful frame. I told Tom you were wondering where to hang it and he said, "In a brand new home!" Good luck on that.
