I don't know where it comes from, this creativity, that has suddenly bubbled to the forefront of my brain. I don't think I have always been this way. Perhaps it isn't creativity as much as a love for DIY. Whatever it is, it is here and is not going anywhere anytime soon.
It is no secret that I like things in order. All things, all the time. I get really crazy if there is a mess or if something doesn't have a home. The more the girls swam the more ribbons and medals they accumulated and they would get put in a drawer or their closets. They worked hard for these achievements and hiding them away seemed wrong. I searched the web for a way to display them but it seems runners and gymnasts get all the medal boards and bling boards created for them so I decided to make my own.
When I first started I used to use reclaimed wood but now, since I sell them I use new wood as I am guaranteed that it is free of anything nasty. We have a lot of nasty down here that can love in wood.

A slightly different look to this one. I antiqued it with red paint. |

A favourite saying of all young swimmers |

On the back of all the boards are hooks to mount them on the wall with.

So if you, or anyone you know is looking for a medal board please send them this way. I will do any sport in any colour for $22.50 plus postage.
Great job! Love the creativity!
