The husband and I recently turned the TV wall into a gallery wall, because we have nothing better to do. It isn't like we have three small children, or a mountain of laundry in our bedroom, or a garage and basement that need to be cleaned out-- just to name a few. Priorities people. Needless to say, I got it in my head that I NEEDED my TV to be surrounded by beauty and my gallery wall absolutely had to have a few Pen & Paint pieces. Have you guys seen her work?

How To Make Mini Hamburger Cookies
