I got it at Walmart for roughly $10. It was originally purchased to make a collage for my Grandma, but when we realized it was too heavy for her lap (it was going to be used as a lap tray for her lunch), I took it home to use for my own use. I made this version for Easter, but the papers and pictures are held in with removable adhesive so I can switch it out for any season and holiday!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l20/MrsCabreraNKids/?action=view&current=various028copy-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l20/MrsCabreraNKids/various028copy-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7977042378580390281-2707316094174715210?l=the4cabreras.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15910334621508396452noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977042378580390281.post-36652448695405869062009-04-23T16:39:00.000-07:002009-04-23T16:40:44.348-07:00I decided my blog was just too blah for us so I spruced it up some.
