Celebrating

Six or seven years ago I made a new year's resolution to drink more champagne. Not for boozy reasons, but rather in the spirit of celebrating small things. So I have a small number of corks from momentous times (getting accepted to grad school, my reveal, Greg moving in . . . ) and no good way to really display them.

I grabbed an Ikea Ribba frame, the 9x9 one with the recessed mat.



I drew a grid on the back so the corks would be equally spaced.


I put nails through the back of the frame where the grid lines crossed.


Then I put the corks on the nails and labeled the occasion they marked.


I think a different color paper would look better, no? I'm not sure I like it yet but an excuse to drink more champagne is never a bad thing.

    I love it! My hub manages the frame shop at our local Hobby Lobby, and he keeps telling me about neat things that people have framed. I never think about framing three-dimensional objects, and yet it is SUCH a cool idea! Your idea of drinking more champers to celebrate the small things is awesome, and this celebration of those celebrations is even more awesome. Well done!
