Putting these up was pretty funny. It was my not-so-brilliant idea to have Sean and I do this together...I would stand back with the laser level to ensure that the angle of the clipboards would follow the angle of the banister, and Sean could take a pencil and follow the laser line. Then, I could just nail along that line. Horrible idea. I consider myself to have a decently steady hand, and even with what you think is a steady hand, you still are moving, even if a little bit. Sean was beyond frustrated with my ridiculous method, but I was as stubborn as usual, so I made him attempt the line. It pretty much looked like one of those monitors in the hospital when you have a contraction. Wasn't going to work. Sean again explained his method of measuring up from the stair and then over, the same distance, every time...I was still skeptical.
I finally caved and tried his method. It was a little time consuming, but he was right. I definitely had to eat my words.
Before...
After...
I still need to find some better treasures for many of the clipboards, but I just tried to get something up before the Baptism...
I adore this photo of my mom hugging her grandmother on my parent's wedding day...
