Cheap wall decor.........

I have been trying to hang some things in little Audrey's room and came up with some ideas that were cheap..........yay me.....

I didn't really want to hide her blessing dress in the closet so I figured it might look kinda cute hanging on her wall. I like it there.......


I am making her crib skirt out of this dang cute fabric and had some left over. Why not put it in a frame, add a scrap of lace and call it "wall decor"??? I like how this looks. The frame here and below were given to me by a friend, so this truly was CHEAP.

Ok, this is actually the top of a dress I made for Addie several years ago and it started fraying and would not be able to worn again. So, I thought I'd just cut it up and put it in another frame. I like it; it looks kinda vintage or something......


Here is her wall just above her crib (yes, she has one FINALLY. LOL)!!! The sign was already up for Addie (it actually fits Addie's personality better than Audrey's at this point, so I might put something else there eventually). The wreath was from the same friend that gave me the frames. I am thrilled with how it looks. Sometimes the creations I create end up looking not so good and I end up taking it down. But, I do like this and LOVE that is cost me NOTHING!! So if I ever decide I don't like it anymore, I will just turn it into something else!! I love decorating
using stuff I already have. The only drawback to doing this is I don't want to get rid of things..."What could I use this for????"......."I don't want to get rid of this, I MIGHT need it"......oh dear me. If I become buried in "stuff" will you come and save me and make me make a trip to the DI, for heavens sake??? Thanks. You rock.

p.s.
I LOVE Frank Sinatra and have been listening to his cd for days........ahhhh......LOVE that era.
p.s.s.
I am not taking nearly enough pictures of Audrey. She is growing so fast. She goes to bed between 7pm and 8pm but she still wakes up every three hours from midnight on.........What in the world??? I KNOW she can sleep all night, she just won't. Oh well. At least she eats and goes right back to bed except for the 6am-ish feeding. I am a morning person anyway.........I least I think I still am.....???? :)
