    How To Hang Pictures and Other Wall Decor

    YouTube - Watch How to Hang Wall Decor

    Check out this informative little clip from the folks at Expert Village that walks you through the proper way to hang pictures and assorted wall decor.

    Personally I find it extremely amusing when I visit a home that is impeccable, but where all the assorted wall decor seems slightly askew. It ruins the facade of perfection in an instant, not to mention the fact that if it is really crooked it gives off the whole “Pee Wee’s Funhouse” vibe.

    Hey, you all think it, I am just saying it. :)

    Picture Frame Deal: Personalized Gifts For The Whole Family!

    Picture Frames

    Well I don’t know about you, but I think the hardest people to buy gifts for are the parentals! It’s always a constant struggle between sentimental vs. materialistic. This year I chose to go sentimental, we took family pictures. By “we” I mean me and the siblings, I think the last time we took family photo ops was circa 1990’s. And let me tell you, we (my family) have all grown wider! I’m just saying….*sad clown tears*…

    That said, I have been shopping for original photo frames to house these new shots. In addition to the large portraits the photographer framed for us, how will I display all the additional snap shots? Well I like the following frames:

    Women's I Heart Photo Collages This is the Women’s I Heart Photo Collage Frame.

    I think it’s the perfect display case for my mother. She really digs this sappy stuff. Plus any occasion to display to guests and family that she is the best mother and did a bang up job raising us is always a safe bet as far as gift giving. ha!

    Here come the specs and price:

    • Price: $29.95
    • Holds 7 or 9 (3×3) photos
    • Frame measures: 26-1/2″Wx6-1/2″H and is wall mountable

    In the event you don’t need the frames for your parentals, it is also available for sisters, friends, and grandparents. You can even get one done in your friends or families moniker, spell out their name and give the perfect personalized gift. It will remind them of how sweet and thoughtful you are, and they will feel it necessary to increase the monetary donation they were planning on gifting you this Christmas! (Those are my super favorite gifts, little red money envelopes!)

    Also be sure to utilize the following coupon code SIXTEN and get 10% OFF your entire order. This coupon expires on 12/31/07

    Hope this helps any super last-minute shoppers who are still struggling with personalized gift ideas! You have officially 4 days left to get something meaningful and heartfelt…you procrastinator YOU!

    Good Luck & Happy Holidays!

    If you’re like me, you have lots of pictures laying around waiting to be placed into an album and treasured forever. Who doesn’t? That’s were this brightly colored Spectrum Album Set ($39.95) comes in.

    What better inspiration would you need if you had these to place your photos in? Each book holds 20 4×6 photos, and they all fit neatly into a handy black box. Perfect for a bookcase.

    Look! Even the pages are colorful.
