I covered every inch from the ceiling to the top of the furniture or floor--filling in the small spots with the tiny pics--Sixteen Magazine and Tiger Beat were where I got most. My two autographed pics, though, never were put up. Instead I carried them close to my heart in my binder. <br />I ran out of tape one day and grabbed whatever I could. Found my dad's electrical tape. He made me take the pictures down when we were moving and found all the black marks--boy was I in trouble! It took me hours to get them all down--I tried to save them.<br />Good times.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282306699437598730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823119129056618409.post-13767471848690565972009-07-15T19:05:29.148-04:002009-07-15T19:05:29.148-04:00Susan,
