The map itself was about $19.99 and then I had it matted and framed at Michael's Craft Store (during one of their 60% off framing sales). I used pushpins to mark all the places I have lived or visited, and I keep adding to it as I travel. The frame was somewhat expensive, but I have it in my office at work, and people love it. It's definitely a conversation piece and quite of few coworkers have copied the idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-76129665461799362422009-09-12T12:04:30.106-04:002009-09-12T12:04:30.106-04:00I love this idea!

I hate...I love the map!! It looks awesome, Kimba!<br /><br />I hate to be a downer, but I wanted to let you know that adhesive dots do indeed ruin your drywall. I found this out tonight. I was trying to decide where to position something on my wall and it was cardboard, heavier than paper, so I thought, "Aha! I'll use Kimba's idea and use Zots!" Well, it was only hanging there for maybe ten minutes, and when I pulled it down, every dot took down drywall with it. My husband just gave me a sour face and said, "All adhesives and double-sided tape will do that to drywall." Oops. <br /><br />I'm not sure what a better alternative is, and maybe if the map is going to be there for years, you don't care! It didn't take out chunks, just the surface.<br /><br />Thanks again for a well-written post. You explained it perfectly, and I will definitely look for awesome stuff to frame out in the future!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308329117674966690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-71438068494864050242009-09-01T18:55:43.570-04:002009-09-01T18:55:43.570-04:00what a great "how to"!
