I bought all these frames at the thrift store for only five bucks!!

I had a can of black paint and… presto!!!….new black frames.

I drew a couple of pictures on fancy scrap book paper…

and then found some images in old books.

The bottom frame of course has more glittered bugs.

The glitter thing might becoming a problem. There is glitter everywhere. And, people have commented several times, that I have glitter on my face.

    I have a lot of frames and I had already decided to paint them the same colour – this lets me know my idea is the right one.

    So glad you stopped by my blog! Yours is wonderful, we are so much alike :) I’ve had this vision of three same sized frames, painted black, and one of my drawings broken up into it.

    i was watching my 12 year old draw tonight, his talent is amazing. he’s one of those kids where everyone in art class stops and watches him draw. :) Makes a crafty mama proud! :-D

    Your decorations are fantastic! Is the outside of your house as decorated as the inside? What a fun way to celebrate.
