This will be a very short post. I hot glued buttons to my thumb tacks and this is the resulting new look for my picture bulletin board. Better? Suggestions for the empty spaces that don't involve more pictures??

I mentioned that we took down our Christmas decorations a few days ago. I left up a new Christmas sign that was in our living room. I wanted the incentive to finish a new sign to put up in its place. Here is the new sign from afar, closer up, then at the table where I had just finished painting it.
So, which of these is your favorite and why?
Today we took down all our Christmas decorations and got them in the attic in about an hour. We had already taken down the tree a few days ago. I put a table runner on my foyer table and put up my apple quilt. The runner did not look good. It also had apples on it and together the quilt and the runner...they just looked...looked...stupid!!
I was downstairs doing laundry, so I whipped up a runner I had in mind. I had seen this style a long time ago, and it just seemed like it would match the table and quilt better.
I am not a good decorator. If you have been to my house, you already know that. But I do buy what I like. I might not like it where it is, but I like it! The bulletin board two pictures down is the result of several things. Realizing I did not need a bulletin board in the kitchen where it was. Wanting a way to display lots of pictures with the ease of changing them out at will w/o major headaches and time involved. Wanting to hang a sign I bought sort of on impulse.
I saw this sign and liked it better in that same spot...above Rachel's school desk in the corner of our kitchen. I had seen similar signs for lots of money. This one is about 16" x 22" and was $10. Sold!! I also love the way it stands out on our red walls.
