Use your imagination
okay, I need your help. Remember that skunk cabbage picture? Well we're going to use it, and that one by the famous dude with the tree thing. And those six new shelves/shadow boxes I bought in the bright colors. Help me arrange them on this wall in the living room.
What, you can't see them?
Yeah, that's because instead of taking pictures of the wall with one lamp in the middle, the wall with two lamps, one on each end, and all the individual pieces of my decorating puzzle, I ate baked cheesy potato chips and then napped.
So ... I still need some closure on the decorating problem, but I didn't yet take the time to put all the pictures in one of my many layer-based-image-editing applications and drive them around until I liked the layout or had several to ask your opinion on.
Sure, I could just hold stuff up, but it's too many pictures ... I'd need a whole herd of children each holding up one item. And then you'd need to mentally delete the children from the scene, for the sake of the arranging.
Maybe someday soon I'll have digital decor for you to help me arrange.
For now, just use your imagination.

It finally did as I hit preview!
Don't delete the kids when you have it all posted.
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

You will forever be famous to me as the woman (girl) who found beauty in skunk cabbages.
AND, I learned something because of this comment. I didn't know Jackson Browne wrote that song for the Pretenders!! Far out. I loved Jackson Browne when I was young and impressionable. : ) I used to have his picture on a button on my backpack, and the first time my husband met me he thought Jackson Browne was my boyfriend. (because he was not a JB fan himself and didn't recognize him.) ha ha ha! I wished!!! (in the past, of course)
Posted by: Judy at May 3, 2008 2:19 PMHere is a trick...cut out several pieces of paper, or newspaper in the same size and shapes of the art you want to hang. On the wall arrange the paper silhouettes you cut out until you get the desired effect. Now you know where to hang your pictures without having a bunch of folks stand around trying to hold them just right while you mark the spot!
