Photo Collage
You are of course by now well aware of my “get more on the wall weakness/addiction/love affair”….yes, it’s true, and I have no intention of stopping it. Quite frankly it will ( with any luck) only get worse…my eyes will open more, my magpie tendencies will happily own me into eternity. ( or as Buzz Lightyear says…”to infinity and beyond”…clearly I have a 3 year old…nay…nearly 4 year old….) this little ditty is from our boys room. All four of them share a room with bunk beds….it is really something else!! They like little things as much as I do….stamps, rocks, plastic animals, photos….average stuff you can find in nature or in the bottom of most attic boxes. Little piles of happiness to make collages with…this is one of them. An oddball mix of goodness….imagine how it will spread….just like that.
Cheers , Luck and Happiness to you!
xxx,
T.

Good morning Tracy and all you other funny ladies
That’s a beauuuutiful wall photo collage! Your boys are so lucky – I would just love to visit you and your house some day (in my dreams probably, haha)
OR I know – instead of doing a gift cert, just pick someone to spend the day with you, tour your creative madness, and …oh, wouldn’t that be divine?
haha
Tracy, love the boy’s wall and I LOVE that they share a room. My 2 boys share a room….they say it makes them brave. They are such sweet little boys. On my list of to do’s for the summer is to make their room more big boy looking, and you have given me a great idea. Thanks!
Sweet ladies, I am going to Bora, Bora for a few days to celebrate our 12 year anniversary. Don’t worry that I don’t post for a few days. Please know that I will be decked in TP fashion in the evening and sipping some wine. During the day, I shall be lolling in the sun (with 50 spf and a hat), and reading my books. Each day of marriage is a celebration, but it is so special to celebrate the milestones. Cheers!

I would like to put my television on the wall like you did Tracy in your den but I dont know how to hide the cords??? Where are your cords hiding??? Oh and where to put DVD player? Please help! Thank you!
By the way did you happen to see costume designer for Young Victoria received an Oscar last night? How wonderful!
The sun is shining in Ohio and I am going to go outside and “move my body”

I love how interesting the wall is!!!
