Notepad Message Center

I did another bit of upcycling.  I had this wooden notepad holder kicking around.  I got it at a garage sale.  I forgot to take a before picture but it was basically just bare wood.  I painted and distressed it then added some Nikki Sivils  Messages paper and die cuts.  No matter how often I put out a pad or sticky note pad of paper by the phone, it always disappears... this one shouldn't!   After covering the piece, I then used my Hello2You stamp set from The Stamps of Life for the sentiment and of course a bit of Cappuccino twine from The Twinery.
