I finally finished the photo wall! I love it. There are lots of pictures of people that I love on it. (If your picture isn't there, it isn't because I don't love you - but most likely because I don't have any pictures of you -- if you have sent one chances are it is there ^^)
I started this project in February. The first thing I did was trace each frame onto some paper, labeled the papers and cut them out. Next I masked off a section of the wall where I wanted the pictures to go (needed some kinda structure). Then I just put up the pieces of paper like a puzzle so they all would fit.

| I allowed myself to go out of the first tape line but not out of the second one - didn't want all straight lines either! |
After I had them all where I liked them I used a trick that I learned somewhere on this blog (basically you put the tiniest bit of toothpaste on the picture frame where the nail would need to be to hang it up push it against the wall where you want it & viola you have a mark for your nail) to know exactly where to put the nails in the wall. I hammered the nails in right through the paper. Then I randomly picked up a frame, found where it went, pulled the paper down and hung the frame. (as you can see several of those papers say "MT" -- like I said the random happy people)
Now after several months of it being almost done it is finally finished.
