A New Endeavor?

About a week ago, I started a little craft project inspired from some Pinterest items for my mother-in-law's kitchen. (I'm helping her do a little updating. More on that later.) I loved the result so much that I've started making different versions for some other people in my life. I actually like them so much that I'm hoping to make it a little side business (as long as others like them as well).

I'm calling them "antiqued wooden photo plaques", but I also made a "antiqued wooden monogrammed plaque" as another option. I think they would make really wonderful gifts especially since they are so personalized. Basically they are painted with a couple different colors and then sanded to bring out the details with some distressing. Finally I add the photo and Mod Podge it into place. 

The final result works great either hanging on the wall or sitting on your table. Let's see what you guys think:

So I'm loving making theses. I hope you like them! I already have a handful more to work on, but if you'd like one of your own, please let me know! 

Until next time...
