Picture Frame Spotlight

I was looking at my aqua picture frame today (getting ready to take it down) and I started thinking about what a simple, happy little addition it has been to our living room.

I originally created our frame to become part of our Christmas card display, but it has been used so many different ways over the months!

Much more fun than using it in its original state.  :)

Mostly we use it as a birthday spotlight.  My kids love being spotlighted on their birthday month.  Such a simple way to make them feel special.

{JANUARY} - El's birthday spotlight

{MARCH} - Mom and Kole's birthday spotlight

{MAY} - Ad's birthday spotlight

{JUNE} - Father's Day spotlight (things we love about dad)

{OCTOBER} - Past Halloween pictures

{NOVEMBER} - Thanksgiving artwork displayed

{DECEMBER} - Friends Christmas Card display

I also used it to frame our own past Christmas cards and other holiday artwork from the kids (I just forgot to take pictures each month!).

I've loved it because it was SO cheap and easy to make.
It added some interest and color to our living room.  

It has been an easy way to display and rotate pictures and artwork each month.

And because it constantly put a smile on a few faces around here.

Looking forward to finding a happy home for it in the new house.
