I don't have mine hung up yet, but I just finished making my own message board. I used a piece of foam insulation board that we had leftover from construction. I then covered it in quilt batting, using spray adhesive to join them. Then I covered it in a fabric I found, again using the spray adhesive. I took my glue gun and used that to attach the edges of the fabric to the back of the board, wrapping and pulling it as neatly as I could. Using my glue gun again, I applied two different colors of ribbons , crossing them in x patterns across the board. Each place where the ribbons crossed each other, I glued a decorative button on. Push pins easily go into the foam, or I can just tuck notes under the ribbons. The entire project only took just over an hour and I spent a little over $15 for the fabric and ribbons. I already had the foam (which is fairly inexpensive at Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) quilt batting, buttons and glue. I wanted a large board to hold all the school papers, calendar, and such, so we made it 40 inches by 68 inches. However, the foam is easily cut to any size you want. Here is a picture of it sitting in my kitchen, waiting to be hung by DH!

I understand that Sheila was offended by the site owner's right wing (I guess) posts. I make it a practice not to reply to or even read political threads and I am truly sorry that she was offended. This is not a forum for the easily offended, I thought that I had mentioned that. Hey, it's not a GW forum :-) This post was edited by pkponder on Fri, Dec 12, 14 at 9:42

Welcome: #3 Would be a no, you can't directly quote someone but you can include a persons moniker for more clarity #2 See bottom of where you type and you'll see the icons, click on photo icon and upload directly from your hand held device or hard drive. #2a) You can also display a pic via a photo sharing sight such as Photobucket by direct linking. 2b) Online photo sharing accounts to this one can take time to cross link between the servers, a bit slower to load pages and view for some with slower modems. #1 Type and click on submit what you typed is what we'll see ( given time for a response). There is an edit feature on the top right side of this box in case you typed something in reverse order.

FinallyHome, some of us are seeing a new version of the Home Decorating forum. The new version does not have the link to the Conversations side. IIWY, I would bookmark the link to Convo.
