<br />
it was a sad day not too long ago, when i told my littlest guy that it was time to give up his favorite tshirt. he was sooo disappointed that he was too big to wear it. {heartbreaking!} <br />
<br />
it was then that i remembered that salvaged open back frame. the one freshly painted a crisp white, complete with glass and picture wire. the one that was just waiting to display something...PERFECT!<br />
<br />
here's what i did. you can do it, too. it's so easy!<br />
<br />
step 1: i kept the glass in my frame and tossed the matte. if you end up not using glass, it will still look great. {open back frames don't usually come with glass, but you can get glass cut for yours. my frame just happened to come with everything i needed. as long as your frame is deep enough, it will work for this project}.<br />
<br />
step 2: my frame also came with a piece of foamboard. {a sheet of foamboard is very cheap at any office supply or craft store}. i slipped the foamboard into my tshirt, adjusting the tshirt as i went to get it straight{this was the trickiest part}. i folded the shirt as flat as i could get it and then taped it down. {you could also cut off the sleeves and back of your shirt so it fits inside the frame easier}.<br />
<br />

<br />
step 3: after i put the foam and shirt in the frame, i cut a piece of cardboard to fit on top. i then secured it using the 'little metal bendy things' in the frame. you could also use small nails.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
step 4: next, i attached the picture wire to the frame. you could also attach a sawtooth hanger if you choose not to use the entire shirt in your frame. i found the picture wire to work best for mine because i used the whole tshirt. either way, no one will see the back of your frame once it's up on the wall.<br />

we put them in coffee cans, filled about halfway with dirt and placed the top on tight to keep them from escaping. <br />
<br />
...and breathing. <br />
<br />
we didn't know to poke holes in the lid.<br />

<br />
i still love frogs!<br />
<br />
so, a couple of weeks ago, we "adopted" 11 tadpoles from some friends who had a pond. <br />
i took our oldest to a local thrift shop and he spent $8 on a tank and lid. <br />
we bought food and some gravel and spent less than $20 total.<br />
what a fun summer project it has been!<br />

the boys keep the tank on the porch and a few times a day, they check on their progress. <br />
it has been really fun to watch them change each day.<br />

i was so mad at myself this morning.<br />
<br />
i locked us out of the truck at the pool and we had to walk back home to get my spare keys. <br />
<br />
but then i remembered that things happen for a reason. <br />
<br />
things you wouldn't see unless you were walking back home with two curious boys.<br />
<br />
little, helpless, feathery things. that fall from their nest. and are bleeding and need medical attention.<br />
<br />
rescuing this baby brown thrasher was how we started our day. <br />
<br />
chirping birdy is now at wildlife rehab 30+ miles away. <br />
<br />
God's in the little things...<br />

This particular book is my favorite. I read it to my boys every night when they were teeny tiny. I loved when they would put their little chubby fingers in the holes of each piece of food. *sigh*<br /><br />Hope you're having a happy weekend and eating what's good for you!<br /><br />xoThe Chubby Dovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02144347030156103712noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8514278914431644034.post-10900844258225210382011-12-24T20:00:00.001-05:002011-12-24T20:00:01.036-05:00not a creature was stirring...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdeFQ6_mOBZxFf8fJ3AdGhrFzNpkLAV2O-78G6c1o97Oe3z-4Kif4Pf7EbvTWk5rXXn9MOaE-T8uiBZKu5-jHCAXA97d66yv0AuUxDuw7B6UgVLF1-6s3Dm0k8oo7dYBgU3YtTPNYyZ3tJ/s1600/notacreaturewasstirring11.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685829440888133858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdeFQ6_mOBZxFf8fJ3AdGhrFzNpkLAV2O-78G6c1o97Oe3z-4Kif4Pf7EbvTWk5rXXn9MOaE-T8uiBZKu5-jHCAXA97d66yv0AuUxDuw7B6UgVLF1-6s3Dm0k8oo7dYBgU3YtTPNYyZ3tJ/s400/notacreaturewasstirring11.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>wishing you and your family a very Merry CHRISTmas!</div><br /><div>xo</div>The Chubby Dovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02144347030156103712noreply@blogger.com0
