Introducing A Fellow Blogger Modern Jane and Giveaway

The other day,  I was of course not working
......don't tell my boss....
and going through the tons of blogs I go through everyday.

Modern Jane had this really great blog on picture galleries

Check it out here


I really loved it and saved the photos.

Some are just tan, some are black and white. There is a white kitchen with
bright pictures and of course a beautiful purple and blue gallery from 
everybody's cutie Nate!

So that night I was thinking I need to do 
something like that on my walls.......

Duhhh........I already had




These are all family photos,
Great Grandparents, Great Uncles, Aunts and my parents.

So the moral of the story is,
I need to spend more time in my dinning room, 
and or quit thinkin the grass is greener....
I didn't do such a bad job! 

Take a look at Modern Jane's Blog 
I really enjoy it! You should see the before and after of her house,
the pillows she made....

And she also has a Giveaway going on right now

$20 Gift Card To CSN Stores!!

  1. Don't you love old family photos? My kids love looking at pictures of our family and asking, "who's that?" I have a photo of my grandfather when he was 2. He looks to be wearing a dress and has golden curly hair. My boys still don't believe that it's my gpa. Ha! What a fun display! I have plans to do this in our upstairs hallway!

    Thanks for sharing the blog. I'll go check it out!

    Take care!
