Lightning McQueen Mural


 When my daughter moved into her house 
(Has it really been almost two years?)
she asked if I'd paint aLightning McQueen mural in Dayton's room.
I agreed to do it.  I got the paint.  I outlined the car.
And never got it finished!
Until now!
Happy dance!
The raceway is chalkboard paint, so you can write messages or draw pictures on it.
You can't see the two windows in these pics, but the only thing left to do is window treatments.  
I've looking for checkered raceway banners to pin up but I think I'll have to order them online.

I wanted it to finally be done before the annual 4th of July party at their house.
I couldn't have been happier when I heard Dayton say to one of Jade's friends,
" Look at my room.  My Gramma painted it all by herself."
and "Thank you, Gramma."
Love
that
boy!

  2. Hi Susan :)
    Caught your comment on my blog and hurried over to meet you. Been sort of lame blogging lately but summer seems to do that to some of us. Read down through some of your past posts and smiled...
    I'll go check your other blog also.
    Hope you're having a great weekend with your family. I'll be back again.
