A few months ago I revealed to you my Sweet Master Makeover. I included in my decor things that had meaning to my husband and I.
This old pirate-looking map has been rolled up, sitting in a box in storage for 7 years. I always loved it but never knew what to do with it. My husband served an LDS Church Mission 10 years ago in San Juan, Puerto Rico. While he was gone he sent home this map to me. For two years I had this map taped to the back of my bedroom door and I tracked with push-pins and red string the places and areas that he lived in while there. It was a great way to follow him on his mission from home.
I had the map framed with the look of old barn-wood and thought that gave it the perfect finish!
Every time I see this map it reminds me of the two years we went without seeing each other. It reminds me of the service he gave and the the people’s lives he positively effected. Plus, it’s cute! 🙂
And that, my friends, is the story of THE MAP. Now I just need to go to Puerto Rico so I can see all these places for myself!
Love it, and love that you have known each other so long! 🙂
And… Could be cute party decor in the future! 😉 maybe I can borrow some time? J/K
I love this so much! I saved the map we used while driving all over Ireland & I can’t wait to frame & hang it someday in the perfect place!
Great idea, that’s what am looking for. I love it, that’s my island. Glad to hear your story, hope it brings good memories and blessing to know of all the good that goes with it.
I want one ! Where can I get it?
