Remember when I talked about the Junk ladies? Well I stole another neat-o project idea from their book. It is a photo frame easel, made from an old folding ruler. We made 2 of them but I like the small one best. You can check out my project page for pics.

yes, that's me. contrary to popular belief - I once was a blond...

racket press frames.

I enjoy challenging the notion of what a photo frame should be. On a recent junking trip, I scored a vintage tennis racket and press. At first glance, I instantly saw a FRAME!

All it took was a little stain, some acrylic plastic, a plastic cutter and some photos. I'm still looking for a nifty mat board, possibly made out of fabric or contact paper, but for now - using plain file folders from the home office will do. Sue, my future mother-in-law, gave me two other OLD rackets and now I have a TRIO! The photo theme (there is always a theme) is 'Lucy takes the field'

Check out how to make them on my projects page!
