Splash Mountain

Yep now it shows up. Thats a neat concept.

Those are awesome ideas, folks! Thanks for the input.

I had thought of doing the overhead projector thing - paint by numbers, as it were, but I am so untalented with painting that I know it would not look good. Maybe from a distance and if you squinted your eyes...... LOL

Anyway, the art student is a fantastic idea as well. That is do-able especially since I live very close to ASU. I have hundreds of pictures of the mountain and of course, there are always fantastic pictures taken from the photogs here at Michechat that I'm sure I could find a perfect picture for the room.

Thanks again for the wonderful ideas.

If you can find it, rather than the tranparency overhead thing-- you could get yourself an LCD Projector and then use the shots on your computer to project them to the wall. This is the same process as the overhead, but you wont have to transfer the pics to the transprency--one less step I guess.

Good luck

If I remember correctly ASU has an excellent art program with tons of students who would be more than happy to help you out!

Go Sun Devils!!!

You can find an image and project it onto the wall. I have done this before using and LCD projector (you can rent those for pretty cheap, or borrow them from a college). Pick any image of the mountain, prroject it against your wall and back up until it is the desired size. You can actually trace it onto the wall.

Congrats on your new little one! I'm expecting, too!

EDIT: oops, somebody already suggested this idea but it just goes to show it's a good one! lol.

To Jgoss:

Yeah, baby! Sun Devils!!!!! I'm an alumni and you are correct about the art department. I will have to post on their bulletin board to see if I get any bites.

Congrats to you too, SaraNo! When are you due?

I am due October 24th - just in time for Haunted Mansion Holiday. The baby's first trip will be over the Thanksgiving holiday. I cannot wait! Lots of pics!
