From Wild Animals to French Country Flowers

I have had these animal pictures for years, back when I had this type of look in my bedroom in my previous house. I kept them because I like the frames with the crackle finish on them. I went shopping up in my attic this weekend and got these down to change and find a place to hang them. I picked out 2 pictures from my collection of old calendars and put them in the frames and now I have new artwork to display. I haven't decided where they'll go, but I'll show you when I do. I love free projects like this one! Have a great Monday y'all!

Very resourceful! Yesterday, I put a calendar picture (Hobby Lobby has theirs at 80% off) in a garage sale frame (50 cents)and I love how it turned out. Of course I got the idea from all of you in blogland!
Blessings,

Hi Angie~
I love it! The calendar pages you chose look WONDERFUL with those cute frames! It reminds me, I have been saving this large calendar book of gorgeous flowers for almost 13 years thinking maybe someday I'd frame them...I finally got rid of them last month, realizing I just wasn't getting around to it! Oh, how I wish I hadn't done it now that I see this post!

I always so much enjoy seeing the things you do! You are so creative! :) I hope you have a beautiful day!
