I love these Pictures.
They were sent to me from my In- Laws who I LOVE DEARLY!
They're in Uganda, Africa and will be for 2 more years... *Sniff, blot eyes* I miss them.
Last year they sent me a Christmas Card made of finely cut grass and leaves glued together to make a nativity scene. I {heart} these pictures!
I asked my mom to send me more so I could hang them up... we have a couple of beautiful brown daughters in our house and I wanted something that reflected that on my walls.
I was trying to figure out how to put this ensemble together with what I had: 2 shadowbox frames, one black frame... I decided to glue a cheap dollar store frame ON TOP of the glass of the black frame. You're right, it's not straight- I don't care. It took me forever to center it this well.
Ta-da!- A year round nativity of African art in my very girly office (which is such a mess from writing Santa's letters (and other things) that it's not able to be photographed.

I just love reading your blog in the morning. I am so uncrafty and so bad with trying to put things together and organize that I am just living vicariously through you!!
Question, how well do your boxes hold up in bathrooms that are the main shower room? Does the humidity effect them much?
Wow - those are really cool. Can they send more? I would pay for one of those. I like the idea of bringing this culture into Christmas. I was just thinking about that this morning --that it all happened over there anyway --the wise men could have been African, and then as soon as Jesus was born, he went straight to Africa (Egypt). Really neat idea for Christmas decor.
Jane lady- The boxes do great in bathrooms. I seal all of the boxes so they are pretty durable. I wouldn't leave them in standing water or use them to put kids bath toys in but as far as sitting on counters or shelves- no worries! Glad you like the blog.
Amara, I'll put in a request. They have all kinds of cards... and you should see my paper bead necklaces!! The women who make these things are incredible. I'll do a post on the necklaces some time soon!
thanks! you yourself have a beautiful family! and great home style~!
have a great night!
I love your blog. I just stumbled across it and I have to say when I saw your family picture I knew you were someone I would just love! ;) My sister is adopting a precious baby girl from Ethiopia.
