A few more pictures of my house | Wall Galleries

Since I shared a couple from my hallway, I thought I’d share a few more.  I just added a few from our recent family session to this display in the great room.

I thought I had shared this one before but I guess not!  This is a display in our front room the pictures / frames are 19 3/4” x 19 3/4”.  I have no clue what I’m doing with this room.  For now our old dining table is in there and the boys mostly use it for games, coloring, playing on.

This is obviously completely in progress.  This is above the couch in the front room where the boys play.  They picked the starfish so I wanted to have them in this room.  Not sure what else I’m going to put up there or what is going in those frames.

And this is our bedroom.  The bed is really tall and covers up most of the Ikea headboard - not really the point of the headboard, but it’s what I have for now.  I also want to add something up above those 2 windows, not curtains, but something.

And here are the cute little plant things (technical term) I made up to put in the bathroom and a quick little view of the mirrors I painted to replace the giant original mirror that I broke while painting.  

If you are doing a 365 this year...

For those of you who don’t know or aren’t sure “365” just refers to the photo a day challenge that many photographers and scrappers take on each year.  If you are doing this challenge or if you are taking part in my February challenge, and want to digitally or even hybrid scrapbooking the challenge I highly recommend you check out Oscraps.  They have amazing digital scrapbook pages, elements, and templates!

I really like this new series they are doing concentrating on the 365 project.  They just came out with version 2

They are these amazing templates to insert your images.  You can use any digital elements you have to spruce them up, or print them out and add your own paper elements for a hybrid page.  I always love checking out the site and be sure to check out the freebie section too!

No more flourescent light!

Ok so looking at this first page has made me realize that it is definitely winter here, there are no natural light photos!  The day is too short for me.  Most of my photos are taken around 6pm or so and this time of year it’s too dark (and cold to me) for that.  Expect some new NATURAL light photos from me soon, I need to freshen up this first page!

If you are a photographer or hobbyist or just want a fun photo challenge, I started a group on Flickr.  I haven’t been able to successfully complete a 365 day challenge so I thought I’d start a challenge that maybe I can actually complete.  My ego is suffering a little, I need to accomplish something!  Anyway, the challenge is to take a photo every day in February of something you love.  February is the month of love after all.  If you’d like to play along come join the group over at Flickr and get ready to post a photo every day in February!

21 things to accomplish in 2010

I never make resolutions but I’m feeling very different about this year.  While I have some more serious personal / family goals for this year I wanted to make a fun list of things that I want to accomplish.  I hope to update it as I get some things crossed off!

Handmade Gift | DIY

There are some of the gifts I made this year.  All 3 were for early twenty year olds - 1 is a teacher the other 2 were students so I figured they could use a tote and some notepads, although now that I think about it - who couldn’t!  I saw all of these ideas on Ashley’s blog - she is SO talented and creative.

I made a custom tote, a notepad, notebook, and then I rolled up some matching paper and stuck it in a pen to pull those together.
