I'm going to have to remember the mural idea when I have kids. That's such a cute idea!Lindsay Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322922481927457241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-25669975712141082232009-04-03T14:16:00.000-07:002009-04-03T14:16:00.000-07:00when i was a kid my parents took one corner of our...when i was a kid my parents took one corner of our living room, put two rolls of butcher paper on the floor, one on each side, and pulled the paper up and taped it near the ceiling. it was my "mural", where i could draw and have my art displayed for my family and guests. when it got full, they would pull more up, tear the old off, and i could start over.GoodyMom1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09456609873787693993noreply@blogger.com
