The Coolest Thing. Ever. No, Seriously.

My sister has one of those fabric ribbon boards above her desk. I've often coveted it. I like the ones in the stores ok, but most of them are too girly for both my taste and my home. Or cheap looking. And, well, we all know I'll never make one myself. What I WILL do, however, is buy all the stuff and bat my eyelashes and have my SISTER make one for me. I'd feel more guilty, but she swears she likes doing this kind of thing.

So, when you go that route, what you get is the coolest, BIGGEST plaid looking brown and orange, no quilt batting to make it froufy fabric ribbon board. Like this.

Right? It's huge. And perfect. And cheap! The frame was $3 at the thrift store, the material was hand me down from my mom (funky patterned 70s polyester white) and the buttons and ribbon - under $10. Sweet!

The only problem is, is that I had it made to go behind my door leading to the garage (to put coupons and tickets and whatever else usually clutters a fridge) and so no one will get to see it unless they specifically look for it. But it still makes me happy.


And, a bonus Sammy picture run because...well, because. See for yourself.
