How To Do a Photo Wall

I completed my #1 goal of maternity leave -- a photo wall!!

Here is how I did it:
First things first... I bought these frames from target. They were on clearance on the interwebs, but were not at the store. I bought them on the internet (since with the target red card you get free shipping).

A close up of one of the boxes.

I laid the collage out on the floor, told Graham not touch it (and he listened, score). I then flipped the photos over and measured how far most of the hooks were from each other, using the center row as a point of reference.
I sketched it out, in a not very detailed fashion, because I'm a risk taker.

I did the center row first.

Then added some photos below and above (all of those I actually measured out).

On the last few photos, I just took the risk and eyeballed it. John wasn't home. He hates it when I put unnecessary holes in the wall. Since he wasn't here, he didn't hear the excessive hammering. :)

I am totally in love with the finished product!
