Family: HOW TO PURCHASE A MURAL ONLINE FOR YOUR CHILD

HOW TO PURCHASE A MURAL ONLINE FOR YOUR CHILD

Written by Rachel Goldstein

So you are thinking of having a mural installed or painted in your child's room? What a perfect addition to your little one's room. A mural is a beautiful gift to give to any child. I have a mural in each of my 3 children's bedrooms and I can't tell you how much joy it has brought to them over repparttar

years. If you could only see repparttar 111375

look on little kids' eyes when they see my children's rooms. There are several options open for you online. Lets take a look:

CANVAS

Canvas is my favorite option. The muralist can work off premises and paint a beautiful custom mural without ever entering your home. The best part is that repparttar 111376 mural can be removed and saved for other children in your family or to take with you when you move. The mural can be adhered to your wall with heavy wallpaper paste, and once attached to repparttar 111377 wall it appears as if it was painted directly on repparttar 111378 wall surface. Here is one artist who paints on canvas:

PAINT BY NUMBER MURALS AND KITS

WALLPAPER

Wallpaper is repparttar 111383 most inexpensive option, but it is also repparttar 111384 least creative. However, there are some options out there that are pretty nice. Take a look at repparttar 111385 below sites:

Your Strengths, Your Money

Written by Darlene Arechederra

Need a few extra bucks to help pay down debt or build up your emergency account? There are some simple ways to do it without working another job or being away from repparttar

children even more. Using your *strengths*, brainstorm ways to zero in on new sources of income.

What ARE Your *Strengths*? -- What are you really good at? -- What do your friends/coworkers compliment you about, over and over? -- Are you a perfectionist in certain things? -- What things do your friends/family tease you about, or find irritating, because you do these things so well?

Do you Enjoy Working with Numbers?

If you're great at balancing your checkbook, you could pick up a few extra dollars each month balancing for friends who hate doing it themselves. A gentleman I know used to order pizza for repparttar 111374 bank teller in exchange for keeping his checkbook balanced for him. He hated doing it. The teller found it very easy. Perfect fit!

Are you Artistic?

Perhaps you're a penny-saver. You've created a beautiful decorative container to hold your pennies. Would they make nice gifts for others? Make some extras and see how they sell at Christmas bazaars. Give away as gifts to nieces, nephews, grandchildren. Others may see them and want one. Some may take them to school and show them around.

If you make it fun for kids to use them, parents will greatly appreciate it. In repparttar 111375 meantime, children are learning a great savings habit.

Are you a Perfectionist?

Can't stand a dirty car? Is your car always spotless, inside and out? Next time someone compliments you on it (or wishes their car looked great like yours), let them know you'll keep theirs up to snuff for a few bucks every week or two. Their friends and neighbors will notice, and before long you'll have created a steady stream of income. Around here, repparttar 111376 salt and chemicals need to be removed on a regular basis during snow season.
