Today, I had some time to work on my home, making it more homey without spending a lot of money. I had some cork board squares that were just kinda flimsy, so I covered them in batting and some pretty material and added some cute ribbon and made a 4 square vision board with cool looking material. Costs: I had to buy a staple gun but that was only $7. I had the material, batting and cork board already and bought 2 things of ribbon on sale for $2.50 for both. So around $10 for a pretty addition to my home.
So far I think my total is like $30 and the house is looking cute.

I made one of those a short while ago, also for next to nothing! I had the frame and cork board, just needed the fabric. Bought some on sale, and have a lot left to boot.
Here is a picture if y'all are interested. I think it cost me a little under $2:00, just for the fabric I used :D
I didn't use batting, but will add some ribbon later, when I find some on sale LOL!!

Duchy, I love it! Why do I always have to be at work when I see stuff like this? It makes me want to leave right now and get busy on some fun projects!
