Today’s Fun Monday challenge is being hosed by Molly at Return of the White Robin:
For this challenge, you have been asked to show us something that hangs on your wall that is fun, interesting, endearing, sentimental, or otherwise enticing. Select the picture of Uncle Horace, Grandma Galt’s needlepoint, or little Susie’s first fingerpainting to show the blogging community.
I’m going to show you three pictures that in an ideal world would be hanging on my walls, but only one of them is at the moment partly due to not having put up many picture hooks since we moved (16 months ago!)……. Apologies for the quality of the images…I meant to photograph/scan them in yesterday but we ended up being invited out for lunch after church so I didn’t have time.
The first is a framed set of photos of the munchkin that my sister gave to us at Christmas. I love the range of pictures from the munchkins first year. This isn’t up at the moment as we can’t agree where would be a nice place to put it, plus the munchkin loves gazing at the pictures of herself
so we get it out every so often and put it on the floor with her.

The second is a gorgeous black and white seascape that was given to us as a wedding present from ‘my girls’. ‘My girls’ are friends from secondary school, we’ve all stayed in touch through university and out the other side and we try to meet up whenever we’re back in Yorkshire. I just love it, it’s so atmospheric.This is the one picture of the three that is actually up on the wall.
The final picture I’m going to show you was part of my twenty-first birthday present. The main part of the present was a trip to Paris, first class on Eurostar, but as we weren’t going until 5 months later he bought me this picture as well. I just love the colours and detail on it. Apologies about the glare from the flash, but it was the only photo I took of it that even vaguely showed how lovely it is.
We have lots of other pictures waiting to be hung up on the wall when we get around to it, but these are my favourites (expect for my wedding photos, but Mr H would rather not have his picture on here).

The seascape is lovely and even moreso because of the story that comes along with it. The photo of the munchkin in the top, center spot is beautiful also. There is something so peaceful about a baby sleeping. No worries!

The collage of munchkin is lovely and I think the seascape is really beautiful.

I love the seascape… the cloud formations are amazing!

All the pictures are great. I especially love the one of your munchkin. So cute that she likes to look at herself.

Thanks for showing us your lovely pictures. Your composition of the munchkin is great and memorable. The 21st birthday present, both the picture and the trip is grand. I bet that you had a wonderful time in Paris.

Great collection! I like the colorful one that you received when you were going to Paris. That is a fantastic story!

Paris was wonderful, I fully expected Mr H to propose there, especially when we went up the Eiffel Tower….but he didn’t…. HE managed it a few weeks later (after admitting to me that he’d wimped out before!)

Great seascape photo! I also love the last one, the pre-Paris picture.

Your collage frame has real pictures but is not hung.
My collage frame has model pictures but IS hung.
Together we have a great collage frame!

The seascape is very pretty but I love the sea so I’m biased!
Love the pics of you munchkins first year.

Great pictures and munchkin’s collage is wonderful.

The pictures are lovely. The family one is great! I love collage type frames.

Love the collage… can’t decide which one I like best…ALL of them, I guess.
Not only do I ever know if I’m coming or going…I find that the hurrider I go, the behinder I get.
