It's the perfect present. Some people think that a picture frame is just a piece of glass surrounded by a few pieces of painted wood. But how many of us have received a picture frame as a gift and been so excited about the possibilities of what picture it would display and where it will hang that we accidentally skip the step of putting a personal photo in it and just jump ahead and put it up on the wall... always saying that we'll find that perfect picture and slip it in the frame in no time. And yet, who hangs on your wall long after the frame was mounted? A perfectly beautiful stranger.
I've had strangers gracing the walls of our apartment since the first week we moved in. Pictures and frames and decorations are those 'personal touches' that makes a house a home, so it is a priority to decorate when you move into a new place. But, how does it make it more homey to have strangers on your wall?
And here I am... writing about the silly strangers hanging on my walls rather than evicting them to make room for friends and family inside their frames. I guess their stay will last at least one more night.
