The Scrapbook Frame

I picked up a couple picture frames one day and had an idea for using one of them - why not just use it like a scrapbook for the year?  Took out the glass, put in a piece of cardboard backing with some fancy tissue paper glued to make a pretty background, and just keep that glue-stick ready!   I'll update the picture as things are added!

Taking a page straight from one of Jeremiah's 100 Blogs, I have begun my own 101 things in 1001 days list. 
Some are easy, some are costly, and some are plain just not listed for people to see, but the list has begun!
