Skirting the Issue: What came first, the Photo or the Frame?

I've been making AND altering stuff (life is awesome when you have a closet full of junk!)

I got this fabric from a friend about 3 or 4 years ago from Suriname, and I JUST NOW made something out of it. The skirt is awesome and flouncy and summery. I love it! It's everything a skirt should be. Haaaaaave you met skirt?
I found a framed picture of teddy bears (wtf) in my room approx 8x10" so I decided to revamp the whole thing. Really? Teddy Bears? Magazine collage. It's a leaf now, in case you couldn't tell.
Before:
After:I found this frame at the Dollar store years ago, in hopes of revamping it. I'm slow. Mod Podge and tissue papery goodness.

After:
Also, peace signs are apparently back in style like a celebrity. I made a crappy collage of a peace sign. It's really boring and lame, I know.

Happy Independence Day!

I made a new wristlet. (Apparently they are all the rage right now?) It's mainly for July 4, but I'll probably use it all weekend and sparingly throughout the year.

It's got a flag charm too!
The lining is sparkley red fabric but it's unseen in the picture

DELISH.
