Our Family Tree

I enjoy browsing the Etsy web page, and have made three or four purchases from it. And every time I have been pleased with my purchase. Of course this time is no exception. I love wall decals and the drastic change they can make to a room. As you can see, this one does just that. There were quite a few different tree decals to choose from but I kept coming back to this one. Something about the whimsicalness of it, and the life that it seemed to portray through the picture caught my eye and made my decision to purchase it easy.
I was completely impatient once I purchased it and found myself checking the mail everyday specifically hoping it was there. Of course when it did arrive I was not home and came to find out that it required a signature for delivery. Instead of waiting until they attempted to delivery it again I drove out to Tigard where the delivery company returns it to temporarily house it. I actually was even laughing at myself a little that I was so anxious to just have the decal in my hands. But I felt so good about my new addition to my living space that I couldn't stop myself.
That night I pulled it out of the box and was a little perplexed at first. I don't know why I had it in my head this way, but I thought it would just come as one big sticker and I would just place it on the wall. Not so much. Each piece of the tree came on a separate sheet and had to be pieced together. My excitement dwindled down and turned into a little anxiety. Those kind of things that are intricate can be overwhelming for me. Luckily, Chris does not react in the same way and a little reluctantly,but still, agreed to help me sort through the pieces and get it put together. And, let me just add, the reason Chris was a little reluctant was because I tend to find a lot of house projects to do and it usually ends up with Chris completing them for me. Bless his heart, he loves me I guess!
He did a great job, placing each piece very strategically and did it a lot smoother than I ever would have. I just love where we placed it, and the change it brought to the wall.
Next step was placing the pictures. So far we have just our little family, however I do plan on adding more family pictures.(With our without their consent!)
I am so completely impressed with the life it brings to the house, and the fact that it will continually change and grow with the more family I add.

I recommend this Etsy Shop: WallDecalDepot. And the entire Etsy.com webpage. Happy Shopping!

P.S. (You had to know this was coming) Will's curiousness couldn't help himself and grabbed Dad's freshly brewed coffee pot from the holder. Of course it was too heavy and he could not lift it completely. The glass pot busted and coffee spilled all over the counter and cupboards and floor. He thank goodness was fine and not burned. Once again, I was not home. Just sayin'.
