Does the fragrance of love fill the rooms of your home? Are joy and peace part of the sweet smelling aroma established in your home? Nothing evokes these emotions more than photographs. Pictures can make you laugh or make you cry. They can bring back a moment with a long lost loved one or introduce you to a bundle of joy. Find special spots in your home or office to show off the relationships and the memory-making moments in your life.
Group a genre of photographs in a bookcase. Mix books, knickknacks, and photos together for an interesting and artistic grouping. Coordinate your frames by finish, color and style. Stay away from mixing different styles of frames in the same setting. Balance the size and scale of the object photographed with the detail and style of the frame. Remember the goal of the photograph. Make sure you present it in a way that will draw attention to it by enhancing the message it speaks.
Create memory books that center on a specific trip, time or place. If you can display these where they are easily accessed they will get looked at and enjoyed more often. Every time you walk by the book, a memory splash will occur in your mind and you will reflect on the blessing.
Create a wall of fame, hang your portraits proudly. Photographs are a lot like bookmarks, only they mark a moment that can be enjoyed over and over again. They remind us of our history with remembrances of our past and encourage us forward, toward our tomorrows.
