Thinking Out Loud Thursday - June 8, 2017

It's Thursday and that means it's Thinking Out Loud Thursday!  Thanks for popping in.  Hope you link up below and share what you're thinking out loud about today.

This weekend, Eric and I decided to stay home and try to get some projects done that had been hanging over our heads for a while.  We had a list a mile long and spent Friday night running from store to store gathering supplies so we could start tackling the list the moment our eyes opened Saturday morning.  Even though we gave it our all, at the end of the weekend there were lots of things started and not many things completed.  Ever had that happen to you?

But today I'm thinking out loud about a project we DID get finished!  It literally took us less than a half hour to knock this project off and I'm loving the way it turned out.

Last fall, we had our family pictures taken by my favorite photographer, Erica Turner.  I've been wanting to do a canvas picture collage with some of our favorite images from the photo shoot since the moment Erica delivered the files to me.

I had gotten a Groupon for CanvasPeople and ordered five of my favorite pictures to complete my design.  Do you use Groupons?  Love them!

The canvases were a breeze to order and arrived at our door quickly.  The hardest part by far was trying to decide which prints I wanted to order.   I did a quick layout with brown paper on the wall to get a feel for the size and placement of the canvases.

When I told Eric I was going to hang 5 separate things on the wall, I could see the wheels turning behind his eyes.  He was envisioning me hammering nails all over the wall and making it a nightmare to cover up if we ever decide to take down the canvases.  Well, have no fear!  I used straight pins to hang the pictures.  If we do take them down, the holes are so small you would never be able to see them.  A single straight pin will hold up to 5 pounds.

To enhance the collage, we added a vinyl saying from WiseDecor.  The saying, "Love, Laughter & Family" was one of their many, many designs.  Installing these vinyl designs is so simple!  You literally just place the design where you want it to go, rub with a tool they provide with your order, and peel back the paper.  Viola!  Done!

Cross this project off the list!  Now, I just need to finish the other 3847834738!  :)

Now it's your turn.  What are you thinking out loud about today?  Link up and share your thoughts.
