Home.

I got the idea off Pinterest.

It makes me really happy

to look at these reminders of the places

where I've lived and loved and grown.

I have been so formed by all the places and people that have been homes for me.

(To make:

I printed the maps off of Google Images.

I bought the frames at Goodwill for $2 a piece

and spray-painted them all cream.

I cut watercolor paper,

which has a nice weight and texture,

into squares the same size as the frames.

I made a heart stencil out of cardboard,

traced it onto the paper squares,

and cut the hearts out.

Placed the paper over each map and framed.

Roughly 2 hours start to finish.)
