Crafty, Crafty!


I'm not sure why, but I love old ladders and have always wanted to find a way to decorate with one. I mentioned to my grandma one day that I was looking for one, and she just happened to know that there was one in my great-great uncle's house, just down the street. The next time his kids came Grandma asked if I could have it. I had Derrick pick me up some eye screws and some chain and I went to work. I bought a bunch of frames at a yard sale in Vegas last year and hadn't used them yet. So, this is the masterpeice I ended up with! I did every bit of it myself...the drilling, screwing in the eyes, cutting and extending the chains....everything! (can you tell I'm proud?) I think it turned out really good, if I don't say so myself. And all at a whopping cost of under $3!

2 nice, polite comments! (otherwise, don't bother!):
