A work of Art?
I spent most of the weekend doing a long overdue cleaning project in Joshua's room. I have Elizabeth to thank for being my support and inspiration...because I could never do it alone. And unfortunately Josh just gets too distracted by "stuff" to see the bigger picture. There is way too much stuff in there anyway, some of it being remnants of hand me downs like all the Matchbox cars, Legos, stuffed animals, and little kid books from the older sibs. Not to mention outgrown clothes and shoes. But it is, at least mostly, accomplished. The reward comes in doing a project I proposed to Josh several years (?) ago ...turning one wall of his room into a collage. One wall is leftover paneling from a previous owner. And quite frankly, I've been afraid to remove it. So instead, and I love this, I am covering it with magazine pictures Mod-Podged on the wall. It is a lot of fun cutting out the pictures (finally a use for all the old National Geographics), and even adhering them. (So much that I might have to find another project too). And Josh thinks it is art worthy of a museum. That in itself is also a reward.
