Five Minute Friday: Grow

GO

I’ve had all day.  It is the final hour.  11:46 PM.

Grow.  All I could think of was mold.  Or babies.  The time on the computer. 

But then . . . we got excited.  The Engineer and I.  We went downstairs.  To that place.  That place where I thought monsters lurked.  Organisms that would attack my lungs.  Blackness. 

I exaggerate.  My mind embellishes.

Our hand was forced.  The pipes . . . they pooped. 

The outside . . . forced itself in. 

And we . . . we sought advice.  We cleaned.  We waited. 

A plan formed.  A revised plan that fit nicely in our wallet and actually bought comfort and excitement.

A fresh place.  A knowing place.  Walls that are clean.  Floors that are scrubbed.

A soft place to land.

And a carpet that is growing.  I can’t wait for the boys to wake up in the morning.

STOP

Ah . . . I can breathe.  Hooking up with my sweet Lisa-Jo . . . so thankful I was given the chance to write tonight.

I Have Featured It Several Times

You may have seen a picture popping up on my blog recently.

I’m kind of proud of it. 

It has been a long time in the making.

And everyone is looking at the camera.

Everyone *almost* looks like they are having a good time.

The picture was taken at Fort Wilderness.  The canvas was made for me . . . a custom job thanks to,

It was easy, as their name implies.  I probably spent all but 5 minutes making it?

It looks great. 

I have it residing in the kitchen on my “mom” reference bookshelf.  This bookshelf is in my line of vision from my “assigned” seat.

Would I randomly use Easy Canvas Prints?  That would depend on if I had a coupon.  The 8x10 I received costs $33.53.

Ouch.  BUT if you “like” them on Facebook you can receive 50% off plus free shipping.  They offer other deals, too. 

So I am told.

Soooooooooo . . . yes, I would order a print.  For $15 – that sounds reasonable.

Perfect for a newborn print . . . a family portrait . . . or a random fabulous shot I happen to take while in my manual setting, soon-to-be thanks to Angela’s ebook, Life As You See It, from which the proceeds will be put towards the adoption of their daughter, Rose.

(By the way, that was one of the best run-on sentences that I have EVER written!)

It’s easy.  I am happy.  And you can do all sorts of things to your canvas to get it looking to JUST the way you want it.  (I had our photo wrap around.)

Have fun!
