If any of you have had any type of conversation with me in the past couple of years, you know I have a huge thing about giving people “Ta Da’s” (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, give me a call, it’s obviously been too long since we have last talked!… of just tell me to explain myself and I’ll write a whole post about it… yes, I feel that strongly about the Ta Da Factor!)
… anyway, when Ben came home from his 3rd day of school with his first art project and had me walk around with him to find the ‘perfect spot’ to hang it up, I thought, “He needs his Ta Da moment!”
… and as we were walking around, I suddenly noticed how barren this wall looked:
… and how much it was just screaming for a little spice in life.
… and then I thought,
“hey how about a Ta Da WALL??! (with 5 kids, we’ve got to think global here, folks… no piddly pin up board is going to hold all of the masterpieces that grace the threshold of our household!)
… So after a bit of research, and a great big deep breath, I dove in and started…
and quickly got a little scared to see the BLACK magnetic paint all over our once beautifully neutral walls, and suddenly panicked, thinking this may be one of my (many*ahem*) hair brained schemes that looks a lot better in my brain than it does in real life…
… but we forged ahead…
through all the layers, spills, and smells…
to give birth to the “Official Ta Da” dwelling in our home.
… so if any of you are needing a little recognition, pat on the back, or any other form of Ta Da… send it here… we’ll put it up in your honor 🙂
