Progress on U.F.O.s...

So, I've been asked about my wonderful playing cards I showed you here. 
I The Graphics Fairy!  I printed her three graphics on photo paper (ideal thickness for cards from the deck, b.t.w.) and found some frames from IKEA.

As my game-themed room is ever-evolving, it takes time for just the right inspiration to hit.  I was searching for the "perfect" ribbon to hang the 3 frames, but never found it.  Almost settled for gold wired ribbon, but held off.

God bless Hobby Lobby for having a 50%-off sale when I need one!  I had my 40% coupon in hand, but found the iron wall decor was half-off! WOOT!


















But even better than that, I ran into MY chess pieces, for yes, 50%-off, as well.



Had to "fix" the knight & king:
 








I love it when a plan (starts to) come together...










Now, here's the progress on the side wall I showed you here ...
