::A house update...
*I have been wanting to make a photo wall foreeeevvvveeeerrrr and finally had the time to do it this summer with the help of my handy husband. I already had the frames bought because I used them at our wedding to display pictures of our parents and grandparents on their wedding day so it was all about finding the right pieces to put in them and figuring out how/where to hang them.
I wanted the wall to be a mixture of artwork and pictures and I wanted it to be fun and eclectic so the first piece I knew I had to use was a
caricature of Drew and I. After I chose that one the rest were easy to pick. I laid them all out on the floor and moved them around to see what arrangement I liked best.

When it came to actually hanging the pictures, I used tips from
Young House Love of course. They recommend cutting out paper in the sizes of your frames and hanging them up in the way you want them to be hung. Then they are easy to move around if needed.
After I had the placement right my husband worked on hanging them making sure they were level and equally spaced out. I'm not a whiz when it comes to math so I left that to him!
Here's an up close look at some Italian artwork from my sister in laws travels that I incorporated into our photo wall. What, you didn't know I liked cats?
And here is the photo wall completed!! I love it!
::Shop update...
I sent out a few banners from my
shop to be reviewed and photographed and the lovely Kristen featured two of my banners on her blog,
Ella Claire a few weeks ago. Here is a sneak peak at my newest creation. I adore Polka dots!
Have you made any updates to your house lately? I'd love to hear about them!

Hello, Goodbye Link-up!
Sarah from Be Envied Entertaining contacted me back in October about using my Naughty and Nice banner for a Naughty and Nice themed party. I gladly sent her a banner and absolutely loved her set up for a Naughty and Nice party! Doesn't it make you want to plan your own???
