Frame Magazine Pages For Instant Art, step by step

Simply had to share the latest little addition to our desk. While browsing Real Plain magazine, I was struck by one of their “inspirational quotes”- so struck that I in fact tore it out. Then I found an old frame leftover from John’s college years in our “decor store” (a kitchen cabinet where we store plenty of vases, frames, candles, and other home accents for straightforward rotation whenever the mood strikes- it is like shopping at home) and popped the magazine cut-out inside:

Is not that a sweet little quote? I enjoy the peaceful image and the plain sentiment so much. And now it’ll serve as a daily reminder that life is good. We have a roof over our heads, food on the table, and (most importantly) each other. It is consistently pleasant to remember that we do not need an abundance of stuff to make us glad. You know what they say: mo money, mo problems. And best of all this little smile-inducing work of desk art was absolutely free. Further proof that money does not buy happiness.

UPDATE: Do not have any issues of Real Plain hanging around? You can download their free Daily Thought Wallpapers for your computer’s desktop here. They’ve even got one for this “Happiness” quote that we enjoy, but a heads up that the photo’s distinct for some reason. Enjoy!
