I saw this idea on a random blog a while ago and really wanted to try it. When I finally found a Dublin Street map I liked the colours of in a charity shop (in Schull, SW Cork - one of the furthest places in Ireland from Dublin) I was delighted I could. The first section of map is where my husband grew up, the second is where I grew up and the next two are where our two homes together have been. I cut them into a heart shape (I really need to experiment with new shapes) and float-mounted them in a box frame. I think it's a nice memento to have but we better never move house or I am scuppered.

I absolutely LOVE this :) Definitely going to give this a go. Now where in Illinois will I find a map of Dublin??? I think I will have to give my brother a call and send him on a mission.
