Cool crafty idea

I am doing my kitchen in an Italian theme and could not find
any border at any of the home stores or paint stores that I
liked at any price. So I took the post cards I got in Italy
along with the street maps and tickets to places I had seen
and put them along the top of the kitchen wall. With the
postcards, I had to soak them first in plain water to get the
pictures off because they were too heavy to stay on the wall
with the wallpaper paste.
I bought wallpaper paste for $4, and then I positioned my
pictures ahead of time, cutting them to make an attractive
border. Now I can look at my walls and remember my trip, but
best of all, this only cost $4 and some time. Now my postcards
are not in some box in the attic.
