count your blessings




remember about 97 years ago when I told you I was repainting my living room?
OK... about 2 months ago...

anyway, I repainted... almost the exact same color of cream... but now it is a cleaner cream.

Before I repainted I had a photo wall... I loved it.

then I had kids

and toys multiplied by the thousands in my itty-bitty living room

and my photo wall with all its lovely black frames started to feel like it was falling on me and crowding me out of my living room...

I had to simplify.

SO

I started me some brain-storming.

and in a moment of sheer genius I seized upon an idea most brilliant.

and then I had to be patient whilst I gathered all the materials that it would require to finally construct the "idea most brilliant".

I need be patient no more.

My big blank wall is blank no longer.

Feast your eyes internet...


Upon my blessings




and my wall


of brilliance


{ and humility }

It is a simple, but so perfect! Well done! I can sympathize with the overwhelming feeling of lots of pictures and a gazillon baby and toddler items everywhere!

You are so creative!
