Ugly to Pretty

I love to decorate and create for cheap.

Who doesn't, right?

I found a couple of canvas paintings with good frames at recent trips to the thrift store.  I knew when I bought my Start Being Awesome painting at the Country Living Fair this fall, that I could so recreate it.  My versions ended up being about 5x less.

Of course, in my rush to just spend the 20 min. of free time I had to finally complete this project after the paintings sat in my garage for a month, I didn't take any before pictures.

But here are the pretty afters.

You can find lots of tutorials on the internet to make your own word art. What quote would you use?
