I have been talking, for days now, about doing something with these old picture frames I have around the house. The paintings are not worth anything, but the frames are in great condition. I would just hate to throw them out.
So I got to thinking. Not long ago, I had a couple nieces over and I had done their footprints using black tempera paint on white paper. Quickly, I was bored with just the prints...I eventually turned them into our little works of art. I placed each paper into different sized frames and VOILA! I had wonderful little "Footprints To My Heart" that will soon line my hallway. I can't wait to get them all complete!!
Soon, I plan to have as many of my nieces and nephews as I can...(I do have 26 now...YIKES, that a lot of tiny little fingers!) I would like to get a hand print from each of them and do the same as the frames of footprints. Only, once they are all placed, I will then have to change my little title for it to "The Path of Prints to My Heart."

| The painting BEFORE my inspiration hit. |
Today, I managed to complete yet another frame. This time, however, I took and old painting that has no value, flipped it over, painted it and must say, the before and after photos will show the difference. I will just let you be the judge.
* I even put mine and my husband's initials in the tree trunk. (AWE!)
I can't wait to share more!
