Craft Kick

With a down-sized work schedule and skin that the sun hates, I have had quite a lot of free time on my hands this summer. I finally decided to take advantage of all this extra time and be productive, so I started crafting and said adios to my bare bedroom walls.

To start, I made my own map art. After looking at different types on pinterest and thinking about the trip I made throughout Scandinavia three weeks ago, I was rather inspired. I just picked up some uber-cheap white frames with mats already made, and threw my maps behind them. I stacked two frames on top of one and other (sorry for the lack of picture, my camera isn't the best!), one with the map from Bergen, Norway, and the bottom (and close-up) is from Stockholm. They're easy to do, colorful, and a great way for me to be able to remember my trip!

And then for the real masterpiece, I washed & painted three canvases above my bed that each have part of Romans 12:12 on them. "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer." I was ecstatic when I finally got then hung (evenly and centered...I won't tell you how many holes are actually in my wall behind them!)
