finding joy each day

i've been longing to create something similar to this 

i found the perfect frame in the garage

i took out the pics and added some papers

turned it into our own little joy board.

 the boys can reach it too

(hardly)

so they can add to it as well

the dry erase pen rests with the chalk on the tray

i walked through later on in the day

and j had added "family"

i also FINALLY hung the old serving tray turned chalkboard

i think i like the placement

it's amazing the amount of stuff i can get accomplished

with space in my craft area

and some forgotten stuff in the garage
