My Family
The process of decorating the house as started. This time around I have some very specific things that I want to do. There are a lot of wall stickers that I want to use to give the place a different feel. One of those project is what I am calling the “family wall”.
Although I am not really an only child (if you don’t know that ask me sometime and I’ll explain) I have always been considered an only child because I grew up with just me, my Mom, and Dad. So “family” can be somewhat of a limiting term for me because many who I consider “family” are not related to me by blood. We are tied together by experience, similar vision/passion, and life. So for my “family wall” it will consist of more than just my blood relatives.
So want to know what the “family wall” looks like. (Well I don’t have pictures of it because it’s still in process.) But I have a brown wood cut of the word, family and around the word in various frames will be pictures of people I consider my family. The cool part is all of that will be over top of a wall sticker of a tree. I know it may not sound cool or it might be hard to picture, but trust me it will be amazing! I am leaning toward one of these trees (Tree 1 and Tree 2). Which one do you like?
I want to close this entry with a quote I found that I think really sums it up….
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
Thanks for being my family
