It's funny how some of the threads get resurected and we don't notice - LOL! Good idea for the posters, I might have to do that. DH and I share an office (we have 2 desks in here) and it's covered with all of his Air Force memorabilia - I call it his "I Love Me" stuff! LOL. Anyhow, I spend way more time in here than he does so I need to get a piece of me in here too! I think I'll start with the posters.

Merrill Posters are great!Though this is a very late reply, I wanted to weigh in on the request for comments on the Merrill posters. I bought 4 of them when they were on sale a few months ago. It took awhile before I did anything with them. But last fall, just before my busy season of Holiday Craft Shows & Holiday Fairs, I finally pulled them out. Since the posters themselves are not rigid and I was afraid of damaging them, I purchased some coreboard from my local Sam's Club (in a pack of 6, I think, and much cheaper that at the office or craft store). I used some glue and spray mount to permanently apply each poster to the face of a piece of coreboard. The posters were slightly larger so I centered the poster and trimmed off the edges to match the size of the coreboard. It still looks good as the majority of the picture is still there. There turned out great! I was able to use them at several of the fairs I did. Either hung on the wall behind my table / display or propped up on the back of the table. They added a lot of visual height to my display and did the job of attracting attention to my booths. So... I highly recommend them. :thumbup:
By the way, I also have the Merrill "Yard Sign". It too is a great addition to a product display. I also have used the Yard Sign in my front yard during a Garage Sale and in the yard of my Hosts during shows. :chef:
