The flower wall is finally up.

This has been a long time in the process. These are flower pictures that Carrie and I have taken over the past years. Some are from our own yard, some are from Hawaii, and some are even taken in Monticello. (From when we were down there when Mom was in the hospital). When I was trying to decide what to put up on this wall after we remodled I saw a wall with pictures like this at the Parade of Homes. I loved the idea, besides we could use the pictures that we had already taken. Carrie then started taking the individual pictures and taking out the color in the background to make the flower itself stand out. She had a lot of them done and then the computer goofed up and we had to dump most of what was on the computer. To say the least we were a little upset. Then in a tech. training they showed us how to use Picassa (Cindy I should have listened to you sooner) and I discovered that when I installed it on this computer it brought back all of the lost pictures. Ta-Da. So I finally had them all printed off and in the frames. It then took us about 2 months to decide just how we wanted to hang them. But with everyone gone last night Bob and I finally decided to just do it! I love it. It turned out smaller than I thought it would, but that is OK because it leaves us room to put up some more if we find more flowers that we can't live without.This is the next project. This is the family picture wall and I haven't decided if I want to try and buy all new frames for the family pictures or put them all back up in the mismatched frames. Hopefully it won't take as long as the flower wall.
