A Project Off My List!

When I participate in a Tag or ATC swap, I always make a prototype. It's usually a simple version of what I eventually end up with.

Yesterday, I decided I needed a place to keep the prototypes.

I had an old picture frame that at one time held a painting that my Grandper did....

I used a staple gun to secure chicken wire to the back of the picture frame
and hung it on the wall in my craft room. I used some small plastic clothespins to hang some of the tags and ribbon to hang the rest.

The tag in the middle with the 3 young ladies was sent to me recently by my blogging friend, Tammy who blogs at Tammy's in Love, and the angel on the corner was given to me by one of my flea market friends. The rest are prototypes of tags I have made.

I decided if I tried to display all of the tags I've received it would be a little overwhelming...so I will continue to display them by season or theme.

It was an easy project, and one I'd been meaning to do for quite sometime....

So glad I finally got around to it!!!
