my handcrafted home: DIY Family Tree


I saw this amazing idea on etsy recently (argh, but I didn't pin it! If anyone knows where it is let me know!), and thought I'd try to make one for my mum using PicMonkey.

I just made a photo white using a white rectangle "sticker". Then just added the names, editing the colour and angle.

My mum and dad are the trunk, then their kids are darker green (eight of us!), our spouses are a lighter green and my kids (the only?grand kids?so far) are the lightest green.?

I even got excited and made on for my grandma!

Both of them loved it. (phew)

Even though I misspelled one of my brother's middle names. And got their wedding year wrong.

But it's okay, I just told her it was the draft copy.

Here's the "draft copy" at my mum's.?

Gotta love some cheap personal artwork.

Speaking of...

I took this picture when we went to the beach last November (that was Izzy's idea, it was SO cold! But still awesome!).

It goes right next to our gallery wall. Please ignore the middle frame that fell onto the one below. I'll get to it. At some point.

It's kinda big. And Izzy loves it!?

Plus it's great quality, even though it was taken on my husband's old phone. Awesome!

So what have you made into personalised art? Any other ideas?
