How did this come to be you might ask? I have a sickness... I LOVE clocks! THERE. I admitted it. That is the first step, right??!!!
One day I was looking through a magazine and there was a picture of a clock wall! No way! I. ABOUT. DIED. (Did I mention that I LOVE clocks???) So, the obsession began.... Wait. It had already began but I just didn't know what to do about it. Now I did! And, so, the clock wall began! My sickness for EVERYONE to SEE!
Then, we had enrichment night here. One of the sisters in our ward (that I really look up to) said to me, "Wow, Shaila, I am so surprised that you like clocks so much, time is such a mortal thing." uh, wow... uh... I didn't know what to say!!! I laid in bed that night and thought and thought about how mortal I was!!! HAHAHA!!! Yep, that is me, MORTAL! Does that mean I am worldly? Does that mean I am not spiritual? What did that mean??!!!
So... I have a friend that does vinyl lettering... and I had her do the letters, "I need Thee every hour" GET IT??!!! okay, so now I am mortal AND spiritual!!! LOL....

I love that you love clocks...because so do I. I've also thought about doing a post about it. It's made me wonder why I have such an obsession with clocks...and time. Who knows...I just love clocks that's all!
Hi, I was just nosing around on LDS Women Blogs site. I'm not a stalker or anything :-) but I thought your post on your clock wall was fascinating and worth a comment. I think it's great when people have unique hobbies. It makes life so much more interesting.
Shaila! I love the quote!! I dont think that was there when I was there last! WHAT a great quote!
Perfect quote for the time wall. I think it is fantastic that you went with a collection of something you love. I honestly have never seen a clock wall. I love clocks too. I just get "ticked" at how fast time flies. I am having my husband make just some large clock hands and have the on the wall and say a time quote too. Life time and all eternity. Or time flies when your having fun. I am with you on that quote thing about time.
I love what you did and I am a mortal too. Oh yeah, I went there.
OOOh!!! I LOVE IT!!!! and I love the words you have on there "I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR."
My goodness...I want a CLOCK WALL now! ♥
I LOVE YOUR CLOCKS!! I have an aunt who has over 1400 clocks! She reads my blog so I hope you don't mind that I put a link of your post on my blog! She'll love it!
Redhoodoos! Holy cow! I thought I was obsessed! 1400! I want to see pictures!!!! Does she have most of them in one room... must have a huge home!!! LOVE IT!!! Sure, SHARE!
Jan, there are tons of good quotes for you BIG hands! Now is the TIME to prepare to meet God... Enjoy every MINUTE of every day...
Thanks for the fun comments everyone!
I have such a thing for clocks too! I don't have that many of them yet, but I do have a few scattered throughout my house that are unique and I'm so proud of them! I love the words on the wall and love your clock wall! Maybe someday I'll have one. :) I have an obsession with fun clocks and also with fun lamps. Do you love lamps too? I'm not sure if the obsessions go together or not.
I clicked from a link on redhoodoos blog. I love your clock wall. I have a clock love too and after seeing your perfect phrase to go with it, I may have to snag it.
You would love the hotel we stayed at in SLC a couple weeks ago, they had a clock wall in the lobby!
Shaila, I love your clock wall, and I think it is so not-mortal at all. But that's just me. It is a sweet and powerful reminder that we do need Him every hour (every second). I love your blog, it is so uplifting. And when did Dallin get "big enough" to take an AP class???? Love ya!
Mother Goose, I want to see YOUR clock wall! POST it! Or email me a pic! Etrnlmom@aol.com Oh, and feel FREE to use the phrase!
Annie, WHAT is the name of the hotel??? I want to go see next time I am up there!
Lissa, Dallin DID have a good preschool teacher! °Ü°
I guess everyone knows what to get you for Christmas. M
That is very creative! I never would have thought of that, but I really like it!
LOVE your clock wall. I love that it is YOUR own personal touch to your home. LOVE the words!
That wall looks fabulous! Since my hubby is a pilot, I think we'd have to have some of the clocks set on different time zones so we'd know what time it was where he is.
I love the quote. My friend has a similar wall with "Time doth softly sweetly glide", but I think I like yours better.
How neat! My mom has an obsession with clocks as well!
Shaila,
LUV LUV LUV the clock wall. Can I steal it. I have several clocks but never thought of doing them all together. I soo love it. I for sure want to use the quote and hang them together. It will always remind me of you..
Wow, you do LOVE clocks. I think the obsession has started with me. Every time I see a unique clock I want it. My MIL loves clocks too and buys us one for each of the holidays. In fact, she just gave us a Halloween clock. At every hour is makes scary noises. The kids just love it. :-)
