Drab2Fab: Four Marrs and One Venus


Good Morning Bella Nest Readers!
I am beyond excited to be here today to hang with you all!
Holly is just the Sweetest Lady in Blog land that I have met ..thank you lady for having me!

So a quick run down of who I am:


The Name is Jen
California girl, married my High School Sweetie 13 years ago in a Las Vegas Drive-Thru Wedding Window. No joke- it was Awesome! We have three boys ages 13, 9 & 5! We love our Baseball in this house, and I am a proud button wearing mom who cheers loud and spits seeds! I love change, flow, color, and organization! Cooking has become a new hobby of mine, along with crafts and sewing ohh-la-la! 

I started my little blog 4 months ago and have really enjoyed meeting other bloggers! Also it is amazing how much insight, inspiration and talent is out there! I eat it all up!

My blog is full of 3 Cute Boys...and One Stud
{oh, and crafts, cooking, you know all that good stuff}



So now that we are practically Best Friends....right?
I wanted to share with you a fun little project I put together.

You see, I have been wanting to put together A Family Gallery Wall 
FOREVER!


I love the way they look, and Love arranging "special" items that mean so much to me.


Here We go!


Find "The Wall"
Gather all your items/photos
Start with the middle
And Build around it!


And you create...


Starting from the Top..then left to right.
1. MARRS Est.1998 {yep I made that}
2. Photo of Bryan and I
3. Photo of Derek {5}
4. My grandma's wall sconce that she passed onto me and my oldest son Aaron's Artwork
5. My side of the family, Mom/dad, g-mas/papas
6. Photo of Mason {9} Aaron{13}
7. A VERY Old family photo!{yes it's on my list to get a new one taken}
8. My grandma's wall sconce w/ Mason's Artwork

10. M monogram for Marrs that I made




Can I just tell you that I LOVE my New Family Gallery Wall!? It makes me smile every single time I look at it! 


Thanks again Holly for having me today!
