Progress on the B&B picture wall ~

Helloooooo lovies!

So, I've been sick this week.  Like, really sick.  Thought I even had scarlet fever, again.  But, I don't have the major symptoms of the rash and strawberry tongue.  I think I've been awake no more than 12 hours in the past 4 days.  So, not much other than dreaming up projects has been done around here.

Oh, I lie.  On Saturday {before I got sick} we finished the topper for the basement door, so now they all match!  Yay! 

Backing it up a couple weeks... when I finished the B&B wall and decided to make it a picture wall... I put a shout out to all my neighbors for old wooden picture frames that they weren't using.  I wanted lots of different colors and styles.  Boy, did my neighbors come through!  I painted a couple, but mostly used them exactly as they were given to me {Thanks awesome neighbors (Shelley)!!}.

Before the pictures:


 
And, as it is today:







My older Sister, Merry and I.  I love this picture.  



The top one is my favorite.  A small grapevine wreath attached to an empty small frame and hung inside another bigger frame.  


Drew and I, a bouquet of Kita's roses, dried and a couple of my crystal kitties.  


My family.  So much love. 

I would love to get a letter 'C' to put up somewhere.  But, I think it looks great.  

What do you think?  Did I do ok?

XOXO

    Sorry to hear you have been so sick, keep resting up. Your wall turned out great, love the pick of you and your sister. You asked about the clematis, yes they come back every year. It will look very twiggy and dead but then it will start to bloom.. It needs something to climb on. Hope you get to feeling better, Laura

    Nice jog Meg. I just saw your comment over at cottage and broome and wanted to answer your question about the clematis. Yes clematis will come back. They can live as long as 80 years if properly cared for. They usually take about 3 years to get going really well. Clematis are divided into groups as to when they bloom and when they are to be pruned. I would do a google image search to find out what kind you have so you know when and how to prune for the best blooms. Depending on your climate and how you treat it your clematis could bloom twice a year.

    Beautiful display of "your world" Meg, absolutely wonderful. I've followed your story about Kita... God love her... My heart goes out to you. My kits are my everything now, since my family is grown and away. When I've lost them, it's like my heart and soul are ripped out. God Bless... Enjoy that beautiful story wall.

    From that very first dvd scene, you just accept him as Bond. He seems so box set dvds comfortable in the role, plus he has that right blend of suave coolness and dvd physicality that 007 needs.
