The blogging every day of May challenge has been keeping me busy but I still want to make sure I share some pictures of my recent trip to Michigan. Luckily I was able to book my trip so that I was home for mother’s day and that was really fun. I think it’s been at least 4 years since I’ve been able to do that. My sister was with us too and we went with my aunt to see my grandma jenny and have a picnic. It was a good day.
It’s day 13 of the blog every day in May challenge. Today I must issue a public apology.
I think it would be appropriate if I issued a public apology to Walker because now that we are living together things can get complicated and manifest in weird ways.
I’m so excited to finally have some things up on the wall. We’ve been in our apartment now for over 7 months so really it was about time. What was holding me back the most was wanting it to be perfect before it went up. With a push from a friend I realized I can easily add, change, alter whatever I wanted after the initial installation. That removed the mental block and up the pictures went.
I’m happy with the final result and honestly haven’t felt the need to change anything. It makes me smile and helped make a plain wall pop. Yeah! {Details below}

Resources I used for hanging my pictures:
Maiedae-project condo-art wall
and
Two Rules of Thumb by Smile and Wave
My personal tip: I laid it out on the floor first until I was happy with it, measured and marked where my first left, top corner picture would hang, took a picture of my configuration with my phone, and then pretty much eyeballed it from there. Not bad, hey?
