i don’t know if you have seen this on pinterest:

but i thought it would be the perfect gift 
for K to give D 
for his 6th birthday, 
which was on monday.

but of course, i left it to the last minute
(which lately is where all things tend to end up).
and i just couldn’t get the shadow 
to really show up on his wall.
so i brought in the big guns… 
i asked B to help. 
and he couldn’t figure it out, either. 

so here’s what we ended up doing:


and you know what?
D couldn’t be more thrilled. 

but it’s not perfect.
suspects that maybe the pinterest photo was photoshopped.
that made me feel slightly better 
that what i was trying to do was actually impossible.
but it was still something that i couldn’t do perfectly 
and something that i left until the last minute to do. 

and this girl 

could have been speaking my own heart 
when she wrote her blog post.

picture me {im}perfectly
is a weekly project to reveal that we don’t have it all together.

i will post a 
picture me {im}perfectly
blog post every wednesday 
where you will be able to link up to your blog
revealing that:

you are not picture perfect,
your kids are not picture perfect,
your house is not picture perfect,
your crafts are not always picture perfect,

let’s 
encourage, 
inspire and 
remind 
other women 
that none of us have it all together.  

add my button to your blog post
and link up to your direct posting
and feel encouraged.
