Photos Projects

I have a love/hate relationship with all of the photos I have, and all of the projects I want to do with them. I LOVE photos, especially photos of my kids...but I HATE how the things I want to do with them never get done and the projects pile up. I had to give up on my scrapbooking a couple of years ago, and moved to digital scrapbooks. Now...I am even falling behind on those. :( Then, there are photos that I print or enlarge because I love them and want to display them somewhere in my house. They plague my life, because they sit in piles and I never get to them. Well...this week...I tried to get the ball rolling. Today, I did a couple of projects I have been meaning to do. I ordered several gallery wraps recently and have been waiting to hang them on a wall where old "head shots" of the kids hung. So...I got to that today (yeah) and finished it. I have also had a collage frame forever (not a huge fan of collage frames) and I have wanted to put photos in that forever. Well....both were completed today. I am on my way. My list is longer than I care to share, of all the things I need to organize around my home. We spent all of July out of town and now I am paying for it. I really want to get a few things accomplished before school starts (then I will have NO time). So...today got the ball rolling. I am hoping it will motivate me to continue. The photos of the projects are horrible...bad lighting, weird angles (trying to avoid glares, etc) but it least it gives an idea of what I put together today. Both are in the upstairs hallway, on different walls. Hoping for many more projects to be crossed off by the end of this week.

Canvas gallery wraps of the kids....


LONG overdue collage frame project.

Kelli...I found a coupon for a website called canvas people. The 8x10 canvases were free (you pay shipping)...but all the rest were REALLY discounted. So, I believe I ordered 11x14s. I've never comparison shopped but it seems like I got a really good deal. I think the sale might still be going on. I just needed to order each one as a separate order to get the same price. To add onto the same order was more expensive. (Does that make sense?)

It looks great Andrea!! I know what you mean about all those projects. It takes me forever just to choose the photos I want..
