    NOTE: ONLY USE DRY ERASE MARKERS

    My son and I decided to try writing on the mirror in our bathroom with dry erase markers and we had so much fun. We traced our faces/cups/sink fitures and ect. When you trace, close one eye so you can get a good control of where you want to trace. The marks come right off with a tiny bit of toilet paper and is keeping him (and me) entertained for hours.

    Now I'm trying to get him to go to bed but he's not wanting to stop...lol...and this is from a kid who hated to draw.

    BTW~ We made crazy hair, mustaches, bow ties and ect. to make us look "funny". So much fun and so cheap.

    My 17 year old grandaughter is in the process of painting her room..while she was a teen she had friends over and they all wrote messages on one wall..she now thinks it's time to cover it up..lots of memories for her though.

    Some people even paint one wall with chalkboard paint..then they can erase the drawings ..the crazy things they come up with these days...

    Snoozy...who used to keep a giant drawing pad and sparkles for her grandkids when they were small...they would draw a picture then outline it with glue and sprinkle sparkles on it and shake off the excess..they loved it and my house sparkled for weeks..

    Aw I miss those days...................little darlings...I do get to have lunch with them tomorrow though..

    I really enjoyed having you for Christmas sweetie, we had so much fun. Your kids are so sweet on the phone, I can't wait to meet them in person.

    Yes, we had a "play room" where one wall was a wall painted with chalkboard. Though, I can't do that now since I live in an apt. but my kids knew that the only wall they were allowed to draw on was that particular wall. People thought that would get them to write on the other walls but they didn't and I think it was because they had their own wall. I do miss that.

    Who says they still wouldn't like it? I know that if my grandmother had "craft day" I'd be all over it. Now there is scrapbooking for older ones. Maybe make it to where you have an "adult" craft party or craft time. Just a thought.
