A Sunday Afternoon Project

I have gotten addicted to Pinterest. It's a great website to get so many creative ideas.  I found one idea that I loved. We have mail all over the place, so this project is to put it all together in one spot.  Basically, you use  a shutter and put the mail through the slots.  It looked cute online, so I thought we'd try it.

I found these on the side of the road.

 Allie wasn't thrilled with the project Mommy and Daddy were working on....

Danny is sawing it in half for me.

The sanding begins.

 Then, I repainted the shutter. I was wanting to do a different color, but I decided we would stick with the FREE paint that we already had in the shed.  :)

Now, we just have to hang it on the wall. Hopefully, the mail will actually stay in it like the picture from pinterest. If not, plan B. At least my little project didn't cost us a penny. :) What a great afternoon I had.
