Yay for Pictures in the Hall

Posted on Nov. 20, 2006 at 7:21 AM

Pictures, pictures, pictures. What fun having filled frames in the hall is! ** For those of you who did not read my previous entry we had several unfilled picture frames hanging in our hall for a loonngg time and now they are filled with photos. ** I was a little concerned that all these pictures in the hall would be too much. I am so thankful that it looks great and does not feel over done. Actually we are hoping to hang some more.

We had to leave out so many wonderful memories … it was so hard to pick which ones would go in the frames. We have very few professionally done portraits, most of our family photographs are taken on trips, holidays, birthdays or in our own backyard. Most are special because they represent a happening or event, not just an appointment in a studio. Soooo, we have been having lots of “remember when …” conversations.

We have two more spaces to fill … 8x10s. We plan to take a current family picture to put in one spot and put Scripture in the other. I think we have decided on :

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15 

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! Psalm 127:3-5

Now I need to work on our scrapbooks! I am soooo behind. Years behind! lol

What a great memory...

You have brought back to me. My Grandma always had a 'picture hall'-from ceiling to about three feet up from the floor, there were literally hundreds of framed pictures down each side of the hall.

Whenever we'd visit her, I always went there first and asked her to re-tell the stories that went with the pictures. It is poignant to think of that with her being passed away.

I know it is a little early for *you*, but your grandchildren will maybe one day love your hall the same way. (And the stories of course!)

Happy Thanksgiving!

My entire living room is filled with snapshots and studio portraits of our families...I just LOVE it!
