Music goes round...

Last month, our family went for a little road trip to Victoria, Texas to visit Levi's great grandparents.  They are Dave's grandparents, and the sweetest folks you will ever meet.  They are so willing to give you useful gifts, and take you to lunch at a little place called "Furs."  

Anyhow, within the first five minutes of our visit, Norman, great grandpa, brings out a HUGE stack of old 45 children's records.  Most of them are in great condition.  He insisted that we take them all. So we did, gladly!

For the longest time, I have been wondering what to do on the wall above Levi's crib.  It has been bare since day one.  See?

This week I decided that I was going to fill up that space with some of those old record covers! Tuesday is our shopping day, and since we were hanging out with our little friend Emma that day, she came with us to run our errands which included trips to HEB, Michaels, and Berrings.

That was Levi's first time riding in the seat of a buggy!  Hooray!

I picked up the only thing I needed for my project, frames.  A package of 4, black 8x8 frames for only $9.99 each!  What?! What?!  I had the other supplies at home...

I was glad they were matted, since the album covers varied in sizes.  I picked up my glue stick and got crazy!

Obviously this isn't a tough project, but I sure am happy I completed it.  I have ideas, but don't always go through with them all.  I'm a dreamer. Anyhow, I really like the way it came out!

Dave usually gets annoyed with me when I attempt to hang things on the wall.  When he hangs things, he whips out the tape measure, pencil, level thingy, hammer, and nails.  He is so thorough.  I, however, am not some of the time.  I just get so excited, I want to do it right away!  Anyway, Dave decided to leave me alone to hang these up. This was HUGE!  To put him at ease about my mission, I brought a pencil (I even stuck it in my hair!), a tape measure, hammer, and nails in the room with me.  I forgot the level thingy.  Whatever.  I got too excited about hanging up the album covers, that I forgot about all of the useful tools I had with me, and began smacking nails in that sweet orange wall.  Dave came in to check on me while the last picture was being hung.  And by golly, he was IMPRESSED!   

Cute, huh?  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  What do you think?
