Posted on by

Easy Wall Murals

About nine years ago, when my twins were still babies and still took an afternoon nap, I decided to paint a mural in our basement playroom. It’s a long, skinny room with lots of wall space. A friend of mine called it my bowling alley. I had Disney clipart software that designed cards and banners. I took one of the pictures of Pooh Bear and his friends and printed it out. Using a projector, I traced the outlines with pencil directly onto the wall. I did this in about twenty minute increments during nap time. The hardest part of the … Continue reading →

Blogs Can Help Promote & Grow Your Home Based Business

My name is Traci and I am a blog-aholic. I blog about my children, I blog about my pastimes, I blog about my fears, my hopes, my businesses, my vents and my aspirations.

Building Bookshelves

Yesterday the boys and I built a bookshelf. It is only an inexpensive bookshelf from the office store, but we were very proud of how it came to together and how it looks in our basement. While my ten old twins have pounded nails before, they had never really used hammers to actually build something. They were excited to see the shelf come together. I started the nails for them, but then they got to drive them in. I think we’ll use some scrap lumber to practice starting nails. I wasn’t sure how our shelves would hold up to blows … Continue reading →
