Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'd love to hear some artsy and craftsy ideas for use of extra wallpaper. We just moved into this house and have a few extra rolls that we definitely won't be using on the walls...I can't wait to take it off!! But...it seems like it would be great fun to use in arts and crafts.

I'm using some for bookcovers, like my Grandmother used to do for her cookbooks, but any other practical yet artistic ideas?

I thought I remembered a long time ago something about wallpaper being good for fingerpaints? If so, which side?

Jenn,
We've been using wallpaper scraps to cover cardboard to make books with the kids. Lowe's gave us all their old discontinued books with many many samples . Clara has written quite a few books over the summer and they are gorgeous !!!
