get out the map {get out the map}

& lay your finger anywhere down
{We'll leave the figuring to those we pass on our way out of town}
Don't drink the water there seems to be something ailing everyone 
I'm gonna clear my head
{I'm gonna drink that sun}
I'm gonna love you good and strong
while our love is good and young. 
-Indigo Girls 


I cannot look at a map & not think of that song.  I wanted to sing it out loud when I saw it at Goodwill on 50% off Saturday. 
{that made it $1}. 


I came home, unrolled it and said, "Look Aves, we are going to learn some Geography!" 
{as I glanced at my walls wondering where I was going to put this HUGE map}. 
Eghhh, wasn't gonna work like I planned. 
{never does, only works out better} 

Can you believe I still use this $4 hot glue gun from like the year after college? 
{this one is for you, sis; a new & improved GLUE PLATE}! 

& thats all it took--some cutting, folding, and hot gluing. 

Ironically, every time I hear the song "Get Out the Map," I think of my BFF, Meghan.  

{who also happens to have the cutest tattoo of Tennessee with a heart on the city of Nashville}. 

This totally inspired my next step. 

I had to remove the map from the window, then re-glue.

{why do I always think of things after the fact}?

I grabbed me some scissors, black felt, & the hot glue again. 

A little heart where all our family loves are. <3 & PS Tattoo BFF girl also took those prints that I framed...

& I always loved this photo I took & felt it had a new home now.  

So...go find you an old window, a map, felt & some hot glue! 

XOXO,
