baby gallery

Here I explained that I have been avoiding hanging photos on the wall at my home because I expect we will be moving soon but nevertheless indulged in some brainstorming about what a future gallery wall would look like.

Well when I popped into Michael's a few weeks back and discovered some amazing frames with matting on sale for 50% off, I could not resist. As soon as I got home, I selected some close ups taken at the beach this summer (post bar!) and used Ritz Pix to have them printed to fit my new frames. My little photos (5" x5") arrived a few days later.

Here are the photos I used:





And here is what I came up with (sorry for the glare!):



The whole project cost around $30 (four frames and four photos printed and mailed from online vendor). The quality of the photos was great, and they were inexpensive (around $4, including shipping). But I was very annoyed that instead of leaving them in my mailbox, I had to go pick them up from the post office and pay an extra dollar. Not sure why that was the case. It was an easy and inexpensive way to add a little something to what used to be a very boring, plain wall. Also, I love showcasing my very own photos in my home : )
