BiFolds(Focal)

PROPS to the wedding prop.

I have this bi-fold door leaning on the wall at the back of our office. I used it for the most recent wedding I had the pleasure of helping to execute {SHOUT OUT ANDREWS! WOOP!}

For the past couple of months, in the post-wedding haste, its home has been where it fit. It's become "a place to hang your hat," if you will.
I find it a sentiment magnet.
A place that I've placed love and accomplishment.

Beautifully written letters that I will *forever* treasure. From friends, and family, and friends becoming family.
Winter greetings with fuzzy designs.
Best wishes and happy birthday's and congratulations...
...my cap and gown.



My year is summed up within these slats. My life is hung up on this peaceful little prop.



Here, on this little bifold, lies one of the most fantastic, thoughtful, heart filling, fitting, HANDWRITTEN cards I have ever received.

My Uncle, Ken...
Felt the only way to capture such a cluster of events...
*a graduation*
*a birthday*
*Christmas*
Would be to use a card with the phrase, "Mazel Tov," or "ALL OF THAT" in Yiddish.
"What a SERENDIPITOUS RECCOLLECTION and how fortunate I was to find just the right card" he states. 
He reminds me of my mother's constant eye on me from heaven, and... as always... beautifully states his love... and his pride... just being the super duper guy he is.




Wisdom card.

I mean... reallyyyyy let that sink in:



I made kind of a crappy dinner tonight {my sweet man chewed and politely swallowed until I admitted to failure. Love the man.}.

I cleaned up the mess and plopped down on the couch feelin sorry for myself... pouting and such... 
*I don't DO culinary failure very well...*
And there it was... sitting up against the wall all... proud-like. Decorated with

love and pride and journey and creativity and wisdom and time and tradition and family and friends and romance and 
ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Talk about reality check. 

Props to the prop.

FORGET the crappy dinner... I pretty much ROCKED at this year. And this bi-fold bi-focus was just the proof I needed.

Little things all around you... potentially BIG meaning behind them.
 Happy Monday!
