I’d gotten to a rather stale point at my home renovations (I was cruising along well a couple of years ago) but your home is inspiring me to kick it up a notch…thanks! And I love this framed envelope idea!

Hey Miranda! I just taped the blown up envelope to the back, and then hung the thing on the wall. It’s not going anywhere, so it’s not a problem. i hope that helps! You could always back it with a thin piece of plywood, etc. ;}

This envelope is beautiful and I love that you decided to put it in your bedroom space as a reminder of the love of past generations. So what did you use underneath the fabric? Is it a large frame or a crib spring? Don’t have an envelope but am trying to think of some other options – thanks for the great idea!

After losing my father three years ago – I always wonder what I should have asked about him and his family… but never got to. I think the history of family is so important.
I also love your blog – thank you so much for all the ideas – now all i have to do is get over my people pleasing obsession and boot my hubby out the way as a major stumbling block to my creative ideas 😉

Can any copy shop do a good job? I worry about it being blurry when it is enlarged….
