Of course, if you know Calgary, you know that the forecast could change at any time.
You know, I think I spend too much time complaining about the weather LOL
Had some good news yesterday... My Mom is coming for a visit. She lives a 7 hour drive from here and we don't see her as much as we'd all like. We had two hours with her at the airport earlier this month when she was heading home from her trip to Arizona. Mom has decided that she's going to travel for a month... she'll be with my sister in Toronto for 2 weeks and then here with us for 2 weeks and will then head home. The important part is that she won't be alone for the first annivesary of my Dad's death. And my sister and I are both happy to have her come to see us!
On to today's project.
I had the idea for this hinged frame before I even had the coasters. Now all I need are the photos so I can embellish it.
My thought for this frame is to put the photos of my 6 close friends (there's a group of 7 of us), one per panel. I will then decorate each panel with ribbons and flowers etc as needed to make it totally beautiful.
Problem with my design... I didn't buy enough hinges from Home Depot so there is only one between each pair of coasters. Doesn't make it the most stable. I also find them to be kinda loose. I also ended up punching my covered coasters in the wrong order... the panel second to the end should have been on the end (alternating solid florals with florals with a patterned stripe), but I punched two sets of holes in the wrong panel.
The paper for this is all from The Angel Company... not available in Canada but I found someone who was willing to ship it to me.
So sorry for the pretty view of the kitchen chair... I need a better set up for my photographs!
Now, to get my girlfriends to give me photos of themselves!
