We all have our preferences, but it really does take an effort to keep trying until we get the layout that speaks best to us!

Since I'd forget to take photos I never could recall the exact arrangement I liked best. It is a nice change of pace to have the wall and digital camera today.

I don't have a design wall so don't spend much time on arranging and rearranging but I can see the benefits of doing so. If I tried it I would spend too much time at it trying to decide what I like best. I'm more a "randomizer" - let the blocks fall as they may.
