I'm sure you've all heard Stephanie Nielson of Nie Nie Dialogues who was recently in a plane crash with her husband. Well, if not she's quite famous around the blogging world and if you haven't yet, read her story because it's very inspirational. Anyways, Stephanie just won an award for the #1 Home of 2008. I have found something in her home that I absolutely love... These fantastic Silhouettes she created of her family to hang over the mantle. To create them, Stephanie first takes a profile shot of each family member, carefully cuts them out, paints each one black, glues them to white paper, and frames them. She does one every year so that they can see how the kids grow. They are so beautiful to me. I have found me a project!

Those are way cute, call me when you do them, i want in!! I know I can't figure that out on my own so it'll have to be a group project!!
I love those and the wall of pictures in black and white in their kitchen would love to fill up a frame 24 by 36 that I have with pictures like that...I didn't know of her so I went on to read. She sounds like a beautuful person and they like beautiful couple and family and I want to read more.
My kids' preschool did these last Spring. They are amazing!!! I have put them aside to put in frames...I will get them up before this Spring!!!
I have seen these on other blogs and they are really neat!
