|  Subject: Ty's room :)  Tue 26 Feb 2008, 2:16 pm | |
| | Well, since we put the new boarder up in Ashley's room, Ty wanted trains in his...the boarder is $10 a roll and I think that's alot! Well, his room is allready two tones of blue...that matches Thomas the Train...so for the church class Rob and I help with I bought some write on shapes at the dollar tree and they were the circus theme...well, I looked at them and they had a whole bunch of The Little Engine That Could shapes...they are so cute...I asked him if they would be ok on his walls instead of Thomas...he said ok...so what I'll do it paint a wide white stripe across his wall in the middle to cover up the Blues Clues paw prints and then tape the Little Engines up on the stripe to look like boarder! Then out of carboard and paint I will make him some railroad signs for a level crossing and then frame some coloring sheets or whatever of Thomas and hang up! It will be so cute and FREE!!!! YEAH!!!!!And most of all fair...I hate doing more for one than the other...so this will make my mommy heart happy!!! |

| | Well, Ty's room is about done. I painted the wide stripe and put the little trains on it. I also frames two movie case covers of Thomas and hung up ...along with another 9x13 of Thomas I printed,....then I printed off smaller pics of the trains from thomas and cut them out and taped them around his room...on his drawer fronts...on the fromt of the door on his night table...on his trash can...and made a Thomas light switch cover I'm not done yet...still have a few ideas...but it's coming and he's happy! It's all been FREE so far too! |
