Waiting for DIY

I hate waiting, but trying really hard to wait for 2 things right now, well 4 if you include a baby and our condo selling, but let's just think about DIY waiting for a minute.  I'm waiting for:

• Spray Paint Season-I have a bunch of thrift store finds just waiting for a fresh coat of paint and a 60 degree day. 
• March's Decorating Budget to kick in. I've already exhausted my $35 this month and because Joel let me almost double my decorating budget this year, I'm working hard to respect him by not going over it!

So, let's share a few projects I have plans of completing soon.

How cute are these frames?  I purchased the perfect frames at the thrift store several months ago, just need the burlap and the spray paint and a trip to the beach for the photo's!

I love this beer cap lid tray. I have been the crazy hostess at our parties begging all of our guests to save the beer caps. I found the perfect tray for this project last month at the thrift store and am just waiting for a warm day to pull out the spray paint. 

 Let's be honest, any DIY project that speaks of Chicago has a special place in my heart. I picked up a Chicago map last month and am waiting for the candy hearts to go on clearance Tuesday.

This fun photograph project will actually be my sister's 2010 Christmas gift, just waiting to find the perfect frame at the thrift store.  Julie, I promise that I have been looking! It won't be a NY photograph either, but Chicago!! I'm hoping to find 2 frames so that I can make one for myself too.  I think it would look perfect in our office hallway.

How cute is this simple "love" piece of art.  It's not a high priority project for me, but it's on the back burner for the day that I find the perfect frame at the thrift store.
