Wednesday Menus #5 and a cute button craft

Last week I was all about the creativity.  I cross stitched a couple of things.  I organized and cleaned things.  I decorated things.  Made a Valentine banner.  And I made a button craft.  Here was my inspiration:
 
This is from a cute crafty blog that you can find here
 And this one, too:
From this blog
I merged the two!
 And here is my version:
I used some pre-made burlap covered frames from Wal-Mart that were 2 in a package for $6.  I just propped it on a tiny easel near my cookbooks.  I could make these for way cheaper if I find frames while I'm out thrifting.  I love that I was able to use a lot of old buttons in there - some are made of shell and somewhat antique.  And I also love me some burlap!
