My New Motto

I recently discovered the Graphics Fairy. Karen has the most amazing collection of vintage clip art. And the best part is that she shares it, for FREE! I had seen this graphic before and had actually looked up it’s interesting British WWII origin on Wikipedia. Then, last week, I saw what Kathy at Creative Home Expressions did with it. I hope she knows that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery because hers is beautiful! Here is my version:

I found this frame at Big Lots.

It was coming apart at the corner, so the cashier gave it to me for $1.

A little glue, a little clamping, and it’s good as new!

A couple of coats of my BFF espresso spray paint later:

I used a piece of scrapbook paper to cover the plain white mat that came with the frame. I also edited the color of the graphic.

I hung it over my “Command Center”. In my world, “Command Center” = Place where all paperwork, school work, bills and clutter go to pile up or get lost….

It’s the first thing I see when I walk into the kitchen in the morning. It’s my new motto!

I’ll be linking up to:
