I can be CrAfTy!

People: I admit it. I see facebook, blog posts, and pinterest and I am immediately overwhelmed with the amount of cute things people like you produce. And I'm not just talking children. I've never really considered myself a crafty person at all. I stick with the craft of teaching (haha). However, deep inside of me is a yearning to be more domestic and cute and crafty.


So, here goes the story of the picture gallery. I've wanted to do this for a while actually; arrange some pictures. Often, I want to rush through this process and get it over with. Unfortunately the outcome doesn't look too good. So, after a bad 1st round of creating a picture gallery, I complete a much more awesome 2nd round. 


Lesson learned? Good things take time. Yes, and I know it applies to ALL aspects of my life, got it.


1st step: Lay out pictures in desired order and create a stencil for each picture. This took me at least an hour. Thanks to Queen Latifah, I got through it alright.



2nd step: Use the stencils to place on the wall and tape. Also nail, like you're nailing the actual pictures.
3rd step...Hang pictures and tear down stencils and you have a masterpiece!

So, now I have this AWESOME picture gallery that I did all by myself. It was a proud moment, indeed. Yes, I can be crafty! Go me.
