PREVIEW TO MY 3 PART SERRIES MESSAGE BOARDS

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES ANYONE ELSE LOOK AROUND YOUR HOME AND ALWAYS THINK OF IDEAS ON HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY IN YOUR HOUSE?  DO YOU EVER LOSE SLEEP DISECTING AND SRATEGISING TECHNIQUES ON HOW TO TACKLE YOUR NEXT PROJECT? DO YOU  HAVE NEVERENDING PILES OF CRAFT AND ART MATERIALS THAT COULD LAST A NORMAL PERSON A LIFETIME? I SURE DO. I FEEL THAT I SPEND ABOUT 75% OF MY TIME TACKLING MY NEVERENDING TO DO LIST,  SPECIALLY NOW THAT WE ARE LIVING IN THIS SO CALLED "PINTREST" ERA. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE IT'S A CURSE, BUT, AFTER TACKLING ONE PROJECT AT A TIME,(WELL MAYBE 2 OR 3 AT A TIME), I ALWAYS GET THIS HAPPY FEELING INSIDE! IT'S A PRICELESS FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT!!!  SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SEE IT AS A HOBBY BUT I THINK IT MIGHT BE AN ADDICTION.  AM I ALONE ON THIS???

THIS NEXT SERRIES OF CRAFT PROJECTS IS AN IDEA THAT CAME TO ME WHEN I WAS CHANGING OUT PICTURES IN MY DAUGHTERS ROOM. LET ME TELL YOU GUYS, AFTER FINDING THE PERFECT PICTURE FOR EACH FRAME, CROPPING, CUTTING TO SIZE, RECONFIGURING THE ARRANGEMENT ON THE WALL, AND FINALLY HANGING THEM, IT TOOK MORE TIME THAN SAID.  SO I HAD THIS CREATIVE IDEA ON USING MESSAGE BOARDS TO DISPLAY PICTURES, LITTLE STICK IT NOTES, AND DRAWINGS ALL IN ONE COLLAGE!  I FIGURED, ONE, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO CHANGE PICTURES OUT, AND TWO, I ENVISHIONED IT BEING SO DARN CUTE!  I HAD THREE IDEAS AND COULDNT DECIDE WHICH ONE TO MAKE SO I MADE ALL THREE! I COULDNT RESIST.
