the "w" project

Remember the first post I wrote about being diagnosed with cancer?  Some of you many remember that I was working on a project that came to an immediate halt as our lives flew into a total 180.  It was supposed to be a quick afternoon type of project that ended up taking more than a few weeks to finish.

Here's a little jolt for your memory:

Well, I finished it and hung it on the front door and it looked awesome..........until it fell off the door onto our porch in the sweltering humid Missouri heat we've been forced to endure lately.

So it came inside and, not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with it next, I let it live on the floor of the living room........until one day I crawled off the couch and saw that it was missing.  I didn't feel up to discovering its whereabouts right then.  None of the little people in the house seemed to have a clue about it when I asked.  I thought for sure they were using it as part of a fort or a mountain for Lego building or something.  So I kind of forgot about it until I went to the basement one day.  There it was!  Apparently it wasn't a little person that decided to move it.  I guess Brian was tired of looking at it on the floor of the living room and thought it would be better down there.  I forgave him.

So I rescued it and brought it back upstairs to live.  Once again it lived in the living room for a while.  That's okay.  I knew where it was going this time.  I just had to figure out exactly how to get it on the wall.  It's made of cardboard which makes hanging it kind of tricky.

I finally figured it out with some of those small clear 3M hooks and lots of prayers that it would go on straight.  It fell the first time, so we had to have a talk and it's been up there ever since.

I think it looks good where it is.  I really liked it on the door, but maybe that's going to have to be for Fall or Winter when the glue works better.

I do have to say that some minifigures were found jumping onto it from the balcony, so my instincts were right that the boys would find some way to work it into their Lego universe :)

And now you know.......the rest of the story. 

(Sorry, just had to say that).
