Happy April Fool's Day! I'm not big on pulling pranks, my lack of ability to lie makes it rather hard for me to pull one off. Instead I think of April 1st simply as my Great-Grandma Penny's birthday. She'd be wicked old if she was still around, but I'm sure she'd still be a spit fire. A few weeks ago I found this picture up on my family's website:
I'm not sure why, but I really liked it. I plan on printing it out and framing it to put up somewhere in my new place. Along with some others I found on there...
Which got me thinking about all of the blank wall space left in my apartment, and the fact that it looks like I'm going to be stuck in this town another year. Originally I hadn't cared much about decorating because I wasn't going to be around that much longer. But with it looking like I'm here to stay another year I'd like for my surroundings to be not quite as sparse.
I like the idea of collecting art over the years; Pieces that may cost more or less, but speak to you on some level. But I don't have time for that, so I need some ideas that will work for now. I don't hang out with as many artists as I used to, so bumming pieces off of them won't work. I've found a few things I plan on buying to go along with family photos and maybe even some paint-by-numbers. Who know? I'm desperate...
