Works-For-Me-Wednesday: Wall Photo Frames for Kitchen

This is something that I totally copied from one of my friends and I’m so glad I did!

I bought these whimsically painted month by month 4×6 photo frames from Lillian Vernon when our son was born. Unfortunately, Lillian Vernon doesn’t sell them anymore but I found a similar set of photo frames at Exposures Online and they are really cute and the price hopefully suggests that they are better quality than the ones I own. But this idea can work with any set of 12 frames that work for any space and budget.

Every month I put in a current picture. Believe it or not, this task helps me, a born procrastinator and not-so-organized scrapbooker, stay on top of printing my digital pictures every month. I can pat myself on the back if I get that new photo in the frame by the 29th day of the FOLLOWING month, at least!

These photos are like a scrapbook on the wall - since they are in my kitchen we look at them all the time. We talk about the memories and stories behind each photo with our 4 year old while eating dinner and we laugh about the good ol’ days of, oh, January or February. We’re amazed at how much our son changes in just a short amount of time. But even better, on the days when I’m feeling just complainy about our long wait for another child, I look up to see everything that I have to be grateful for in life. Month after Month I remember that I am so blessed.

So, keeping a year of current photos framed right in the smack-dab center of the kitchen wall is what works for me! Check out Rocks In My Dryer for more Works-For-Me-Wednesday tips!
