Cheap Thrills

I was able to accomplish many items on my to-do list last night. It was such a good feeling. Some were mundane things like ironing...ick while others were much more fun. For example...

Joy posted another super wonderful, inexpensive and simple decorating idea. I immediately set to work on replicating one of my own!

First I went to Scrapvillage and dowloaded their FREE Addams font (you know, as in The Addams Family...nice and creepy!!) 

Next I visited the recycling bin for old newspaper and found just the right page to print on.

I scrounged around my unused picture frames and found a silver frame that would look great with the black and white newsprint.

I printed the word "BOO" and viola! My new masterpiece!

Now that's what you call Zero Dollar Decorating! Thanks, Joy!!
