Christmas cards.

first off, i love our simple Christmas cards this year. Millie didn't make the cut, she can be a pain in family pictures...

[it's hard to take a picture of a picture, it looks much better in real life]

this year i wanted to make something a little special to hang our Christmas cards.
this is a 18x24 canvas with burlap stapled to it. don't worry about the wrinkles, your cards will cover them. (i'm not a perfectionist and that's what i tell myself)

i picked up a pack of these brads at the craft store and used them to pierce the burlap. they are just for decoration, use as many or few as you want.

almost finished.

take string, twine or anything and wrap it around the canvas. this is where you are doing to pin up the beautiful cards you receive in the mail.

the color is a little bit lighter than this picture makes it look. this whole day light savings thing is messing with me, why does it have to get dark before 5:00?
