Here We Go!


I've been a lurker on blogs for a few years now....scrapbooking blogs, mommy blogs, decorating blogs, adoption blogs. Today I decided to take the big step and start my own. Not being very techy, this should be interesting. Hoping to make some new friends, share from my heart and home, inspire others, and document the little things that mean so much to me.

I found this gem curbside, down the street a few years ago while pushing a buggy with two babies and a toddler in tow home from the elementary school. It weighed a ton, and I had no idea what I'd do with it. After thinking it over, I went back the next day and grabbed it while the garbage truck came barreling down the street. I moved it from room to room, and one day added the twine to create this memo board. It hangs in our library above Grandma Izzy's bookshelf, and is one of my favorite things. The pics change on a whim, and I love it. I've since become friends with the owner, and was a little embarrassed the first time I had her over for coffee. She loved it and has another piece of the piano hanging in her home.
