Collection

Happy Monday to you all! Hope you all had a blessed thanksgiving and weekend and are doing well!

Do you collect anything? I am not a collector; well, except craft supplies if you count that :). HOwever there was a collection I had from a young age that I needed to do something with. So, I wanted to share this recent solution to my pin collection. My parents took us cross country twice while growing up. It was an experience of a life time, and I truly have so many wonderful memories of each state and place we ventured together. On the first trip my Mom started a pin collection for us. When Tu and I got married we continued collecting pins from the adventures of our love and life. It has been so fun to look at these and reminisce about the great times we have experienced! For years I had placed all these pins on a towel just to keep from loosing them.

 A few months ago the Lord gave me this cool idea. Check it out below....

~BEFORE~

~Here are the basics of what you will need~

*Paint *Canvas * Letters *glue gun

* Ribbon * Flowers * *Sponge brush

~Paint the Canvas and let dry~

~Glue the Letters on with glue gun~

~Add the ribbon and flowers~

~ I chose to add two pins to the center of the flowers for fun~

~Glue ribbons to the bottom for pins that are larger and hang somewhere you can enjoy viewing it~

~our kids love looking at all the pins and asking about places we have been~

~and there is room for more adventures to come~

~After~

So what do you think? Better then a towel for sure, right? lol! I would love to hear what you collect! Hope you enjoyed this~ Blessings to you all~
