Easy {& cheap} wall art for the home

Have a wall to fill but don't have big money to spend on frames? Try thinking outside the frame. Buy a few photo mattes, print some family photos and hang them using simple office supplies like binder clips. I went all fancy and decorated my clips with washi tape. I made a grouping of three 11x17s with 5x7 openings but you can do whatever works for your space. Maybe a pair of 2 or a group of 6 in two rows of three? The possibilities are endless. And you can change out the photos in a jiff!

For Sale and For FREE: romantic flower hairpins

I had a little crafting time the other day, and a whole lot of supplies I wanted to use up. These hairpins are so adorable and if I actually had some decent hair, I would be keeping all of them. That's not gonna happen anytime soon, so I've decided to give someone else the chance to love them. If anyone's interested, I have two of each option, but once they're gone, they're gone. I can not guarantee when I'll have another chance to make anything of substance, especially if it involves e6000 glue...

If you are interested, just give me the number of the color combo you would like either here in a comment, on Facebook or email tinkerellen@yahoo.com and make sure to put 'HAIR PINS' in the subject line. They're $5.00 per set with free shipping and would make perfect gifts for someone lovely in your life. I'll make sure to update when stock is out.
