when I opened a box holding three of my favorite keepsakes-
the silhouettes of our children-
and found that one of the {matching} frames had not survived the (two!) moves...
however, a quick trip to the local Hobby Lobby during the 50% off frame sale
provided the perfect frames (that I liked much better than the old ones!) for a "new look"!
I also purchased a few decorative papers that I thought I might like
for the background of the silhouettes
...decisions! decisions! decisions!
finally, I decided on the soft black and white paper...
then re-framed and matted all the silhouettes...
and placed them in one of my new favorite spots {that I see all the time}
and found I was no longer sad, but now was delightedly very happy!"
{and wondering why I ever chose the first frames to begin with!?-
and even feeling a bit thankful to open that box with the broken frame-
to remind me that, sometimes being "broken" gives us the perfect opportunity
to start fresh and look at things with a "new" perspective,
and often make them better!}
love and blessings!
