The Christmas 2008 frame now houses a monogram (simply printed from the computer) of our last name... doesn't it look nice!?
The old ugly bronzy picture frame holder got a good coat of black paint and voila... looks much better (It's holding up the 'F' picture frame. That picture frame started out HOT PINK but again, black paint to the rescue-- same with all the other frames you see.)
Oh, and see that mirror in the background? Not the cheap $1.50 one I got this past Sat. but this one is much bigger and is another thrift store find from last week - priced at just $20 but I was able to talk down the store manager to $12! It fits perfectly above our mantle.
The cheapo, but new pillar candle I got for 0.25cents, looks nice on top of the $2 tall rod iron candle holder I got from Goodwill last week!
More to come with all my other goodies from the yard sale find this weekend... but in the meantime, look what I found at Goodwill today for just 0.50cents each --- aren't they purdy!? NOT! Just wait to see what I plan to do with these...

Can u tell me what website you got the "M" from?

The "M" as well as the letters in FALL were all simply printed in Microsoft Word. I just picked out a font I liked and used a font size big enough for whatever frame I was working with. The "M" was like a size 500 or something like that -- so, very simple way to decorate with absolutely no money involved.
