Photo Wall before and after

So I have been dreaming up this wall of photos for awhile now and it finally came to be.  The wall was French Red to start and I decided on a nice gray to serve as the backdrop to the photos.  I used 2 depths for the photos, one is about 1/4 inch thick and the other is 3/4 inch thick.  The pictures I used in the collage were all taken over the last 2 1/2 years.

I put these up with 3M Command strips.  So easy.  Love them!!  I am so glad it is done and I love how it turned out!!

Happy Birthday Darling Halle!

Halle turned 11 last week and we had a little party to celebrate!  She is so good at organizing and getting ready for a party nowadays, she is a huge help.  The girls did “What’s in that balloon?” game where things like fishy crackers and flour were substances to guess, they did a scavenger hunt, trampoline jumping (with hose) and hot tub, dinner, Italian cream sodas, a Journal craft, and a sleepover!!  Here are some pictures….

Happy Birthday Halle!  You are such a sweet, fun, smart, funny, and AMAZING daughter and I am so happy you are mine!  Enjoy your 11th year!
