Don't be a ball hog

Lessons Learned from Day 2: Don't be a ball hog

Day two was rough for me.  Not that the project itself was difficult, but learning to share a project.

My lovely fiance, Evan, was interested in the wood wall art and wanted to help.  All week long he was making suggestions on measurements, materials, size, etc. He also ended each suggestion with, "...but this is your project so you call the shots".

Honestly, I needed the help but was afraid of losing the credit.  I like the feeling of looking onto a completed project and knowing that it was all my blood, my sweat, and my tears that got it done.  I don't just start these things because i love how my fingers bleed after a few good hours of hand sanding!

So even though there is a clear "I" in Vintage, there's also enough letters to spell Evan, so I graciously began to surrender this as our project. Somewhere in my heart (behind the center-of-attention-only-child part) I know it will be more satisfying in the end to share the project story together rather than alone.
