Been around the world (na, na, na)

Last year, post #PopGoesMyLung, when I was still bedrest-ridden at my parents, LT helped me out with a project I had had in mind for a while.

LT. Ha. There's a name we haven't heard in a while. I'll say his help on this was appreciated, and leave it at that. 

I found out the mileage, as a crow flies, to each passport stamp I've gotten and painted them on these pieces of deconstructed pallet. And then threw them in a box and they sat in my closet for 12 months.

My parents were over helping me do some yardwork when my mom brought it up. To be honest, I had sort of forgotten all about them. So we drug em out, laid em out, let my dad dig a post hole, and busted out the Makita. 

Less than an hour later, I have brand new yard art that I absolutely love. The only down fall is that I am already 4 signs behind, for the places I went in Australia!



I can only hope that my biggest problem in the future is needing a bigger pole because I've run out of room!

That's really neat!! Is it bad then I'm a teensy (or a lot?) bit jealous of all the places you've traveled <3

Hey Chelsea! I had Holly (Hey Hollywood) over today to plan our meetup this weekend and she mentioned you had been to Australia. Would love to connect, as I'm moving to Sydney for work in July!
