Wall of Achievements

This is my dad's office.
1
Like many other offices, the walls are covered with his awards and achievements.
2
I thought I'd do the same to my office since I've achieved and earned quite a lot of awards in my time.
3
Such as this nursery school diploma,
4
This tooth brushing award for brushing my teeth every day for an entire week,
5
Girl scout badges earned by playing games, 
6
and my personal favorite, the" I was caught being good award".
7
I hope people don't feel too intimidated whenever they enter my office...

  6. I home school my children and I'm TOTALLY going to do this for each of them over their desks! Super cute.
    (I've especially been stuck on what to do with those GS badges that they got *after* they would never wear the uniform again. This is great!)

  7. I can't wait for my boyfriend and I to cover our walls with our music degrees... We'll have so many, just to remind us how truly useless they are...

  9. What a fantastic idea! I LOVE IT! I've been wondering what I can do with all my old girl scout badges- plus we have a lot of doggie obedience class certificates that need to be on display (to prove that those crazy dogs actually GRADUATED training class- so take that neighbors who are always giving me dirty looks! These dogs are graduates!)

  10. Katie, I think you need to reinstate the "I Was Caught Being Good Award" and award people about town/across the internet. It's too cute not to spread!

  11. Haha I love it! Makes me want to go through all of the boxes of my old school stuff and dig out all of my awards!!

  28. That is wonderful!
    That reminds me of a scene in the movie, 'Patch Adams'. Two medical student room mates meet for the first time and the first describes his poncy-poncy credentials, awards and top marks. The second then says that in kindergarten he drew a picture of a rabbit and got two gold stars.
    Powerful, hey?

  40. Wonderful!! You have inspired me to get out and frame my "Garden On A Plate Winner, Summer Fete 1988" and "Cycle Proficiency, 1991" certificates for my office wall!

  64. I LOVE this!! Just last week I was comparing my doctor-husband's achievement wall with my own, well..lack of achievement wall. I decided I would just make up certificates for things I had done! Your scheme has given me a new twist. I think I have some patches lying around somewhere...!
