Travel Frames
I didn't have any spare picture frames, I just thought I'd collect up some frames here and there and slowly build up a collection. I wasn't too worried about uniformity and the frames matching, if I go on holiday anywhere else I can add to the travel frames. I did decide on a theme of all white frames. That way the eye will be drawn to what's inside the frames rather than the odd hod podge array of frames.
The original plan was to get these up by the end of the (holiday) year. Ahh well two years later isn't too bad.
I love these, each frame has a story behind it and is unique to my own travel experience.
The Collection
Managed to find and visit the Brighton café. Had the best milkshake of my life, Dark chocolate truffle.
I also found the memorial wall for Ianto Jones and ran around the Millennium centre trying to find a way into Torchwood.
On a side note why are they called oyster cards??
I managed to visit two zoos both London and Banham zoo. Its interesting going to the zoo with locals too, they all wanted to see the seals and penguins, I can go see seals and penguins whenever (being from the southern hemisphere) I was more interested in the reptile and bat houses. Being from New Zealand we are somewhat limited in the animals we have to view. There are absolutely no snakes and most reptiles are banned (this includes in zoos) and while we have bats they are extremely endangered and don't feature in our zoos. When away I just want to get the zoo and see all of those animals that I have no chance of seeing here.
Oh and the receipt from a chocolate museum, which was just around the corner from the hotel we were staying. That was the best accidental find of the entitre trip. This chocolate museum was in French, Spanish and English and they had a chocolate demonstration where you were able to sample chocolates!! I don't remember much because we had just landed after a 20-something hour flight but I do remember this place was magical. Day one! What a find.
Those are all of my travel frames. Now it's time put these bad boys on the wall
Hanging it up on the wall
Here is a guide to how I put my picture frames up.
Measuring down from the top of the frame to the hook, and measring the width of the hook.
You can just nail the hooks onto the paper, then rip the paper away later but I find doing this can sometimes rip the hooks out of the wall, so rip a small hole in the paper then I nail the hook directly into the wall.
I also have trouble juggling the hook, the nail, and the hammer, I only have two hands. To make life easier I tape the hook to the wall leaving me with only the nail and the hammer to worry about.
I really hope this tip has been helpful.
