A nice print from the local camera store is inexpensive, and when we move we can take these mementos of our first house with us.Susannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05836224575041085431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-932980444884431732007-04-24T09:08:00.000-05:002007-04-24T09:08:00.000-05:00Great ideas. When we went to Disneyland Paris I wanted a souvenir to hang on my wall but I didn't really want cartoon animals. So I kept the menu from Buffalo Bill's where we watched such an amazing show I can't even remember what the food was. The menu was decorated with a copy (or an artist's impression, I don't know) of a handbill from Buffalo Bill's 19th century shows, so it looks quite restrained and "historical" but it reminds me of the best holiday we ever had.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't deliberately being frugal, I would have gladly paid for a souvenir, but the menu was better.Melanie Rimmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05871992146568559100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-44757096402121642272007-04-20T17:10:00.000-05:002007-04-20T17:10:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip, Ashley.

It has never cost more than 7 or 8 bucks for the mat.Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16034910594551911708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-86420959563332244652007-04-13T12:43:00.000-05:002007-04-13T12:43:00.000-05:00Great idea! I've been meaning to start using those Michael's coupons that come out almost every week. What a great way to save money and have personal touches all over the house!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11688908160171158198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-89157513953481197652007-04-11T14:26:00.001-05:002007-04-11T14:26:00.001-05:00These are great! We framed some of my son's artwork for our kitchen. He even got creative and made a watercolor painting of fruit on a table. It was so cute! <BR/><BR/>Those are the best kinds of art! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing that tip.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10635304837180578317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24492354.post-85840636159375578672007-04-11T14:26:00.000-05:002007-04-11T14:26:00.000-05:00Wonderful!
