mr. moose

in an effort to have less stuff in the house i've been trying to get rid of things.  

i had this blank canvas that i got at big lots for $2 over 2 years ago and i figured i should either do something with it or throw it out.  

since i absolutely cannot paint i wasn't sure what to do with it.  

then a few weeks ago i saw this on pinterest and decided i could make something similar for free. 

i made a moose since apparently we have them in colorado even though i'm probably one of the few people who's never seen one.  also, i like their antlers. 

after some paint and scrapbook paper:

now i just have to figure out where to put it.  i probably should have thought of that first. 

my initial thought was to replace some of these picture frames with it.

but i tried that and it looked really out of place.  so for now he can hang out on top of the bookshelf.
