French Corkboard

I am sitting here peering out my window, anxiously awaiting the snow we've been promised here in the Williamette Valley.  I live about 40 miles south of Portland, Oregon where we usually only get snow maybe once or twice a year and it's not often more than a dusting.  But the weathermen are saying we'll get hit this afternoon into Friday with 3-4 inches or more.  Being a California native who didn't grow up with snow, I am like a little kid when it's in the forecast!  Let it snow!

While waiting for my snow this morning I made this sweet little corkboard.  I found a really pretty oval frame a few weeks back in a thrift store.  Unfortunately the back and frame were molded together so it kind of limits the uses but for $1.00 I couldn't pass it up.  Of course it was gold and it got the Heirloom White treament as soon as I got it home.

I had the cork tile in an old computer armoire.  When I took it down the corners tore off but it was perfect for cutting down for my frame.

All I had to do was trim it down and press it into the frame, didn't even need glue since it was a snug fit.  I added a couple of fluer de lis tacks and a cute postcard from the Graphics Fairy.  

The whole project took about 10 minutes!  Now I have time to clean my house!  (Can you tell what my priorities are?)
