Distressed Frames Project

For a couple of years I've looked at the distressed picture frames at the Canton Flea Market and a few other places and have never wanted to spend the money they ask for them so I went ahead and tried to make my own. Here are a couple of the ones I've done for my mom for her desk at work, I think they turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Let me know what you think, I'm thinking of making several more. I have all of the materials to do this and was going to start today, but it is just entirely to hot outside to do anything after 7am and I'm not getting up before then to work.

As you can tell, these are not picture FRAMES exactly, but the pictures are held up by small clothes pins attached to the board, I felt like I needed to add my own personal touch to them. The "family" board doesn't have anything on it yet, but I'll get to that later. Maybe after my air gets fixed I'll go outside (I have to have a cool place to come back into) and work on some more and post pictures later tonight.
By the way, I am thinking about selling these after I get some more made, these will probably sale for around $30 so if anyone is interested email me or leave a comment. I'm always open for more ideas also, so let me hear from you!
