A nice surprise...

I have been wanting a new jewelery box to display my necklaces better and to help keep them from getting all tangled. The problem is, that in our bathroom or bedroom there is no place to put a large jewelry box that wouldn't be in the way. A few weeks back, I went to a small group enrichment night with my ward on decorating our homes. One of my neighbors talked about using an old frame and by putting screen material (like a screen window) she was able to use it for hanging or displaying earrings. She also said it can be like a piece of art in your room. I thought that was a great idea so I came home and told Brad all about it. I thought there must be a way to make something to hang my necklaces on as well. Over the past couple weeks he has asked me questions about such a display and what I thought it may look like. I mentioned a few things and to my surprise I came home yesterday to this!


It still needs a few final touches - paint for one! But how cute is that? He even put a little frame around the edges and was so excited on how straight the edges were and smooth ready for painting. It will hang nicely in our bathroom and allow me to rid myself of a cluttered mess in my drawer.
I have such a thoughtful husband, he is always trying to find ways to make me happy. He seeks for opportunities to do nice things for me and makes me feel like a queen! He is so supportive with everything I do or even sign up for. :-) I couldn't have found a better match for me!
Thanks Brad for all you do! I love you!

What a sweetie! Just the thoughtfulness alone is awesome, but then the frame looks great, so it's a double dipper! Is he going to put them on the market? :)

That is so sweet and thoughtful. Not that I talked to him much but I really enjoyed his company at the concert. He seems very funny and just a cool guy.
