It is Dec. 6th. I bought the paper and plan on doing my kitchen counter tomorrow as I am off. Do you have to prep it (counter)? I am concerned because the counter is in great shape but it’s pink and I would like to change it. I read somewhere that once you prep it you cannot get anything off. Please help. TY

Hi Shelly,
I’m assuming you’re talking about the PaperIllusion. There is a project sheet that was put together based on one person’s experience…here it is: http://www.wallpaperillusions.com/projects/PIcountertops.pdf
You can see pictures of those who have done their counter tops here: http://www.paperitfun.com/photo-gallery.html#counters
I’m not sure what kind of surface you’re covering, but if you use a wallpaper primer suitable for the surface you’re covering (i.e. Zinsser Clear Wall Size Wallpaper Primer …for covering formica, paneling & other hard to stick surfaces), the application should work fine. If you do not like the look after applying the paper, do not seal it. The paper is easily removable at this point. Once you coat the paper with several thin coats of a polyurethane sealant after application, you’ll have a very hard time getting it off. You can do more research under “counter tops” at http://www.paper-it-fun.com for more information. I hope that helps. Good luck! (Take pictures!)
Have fun papering it!
Carrie

Hi Lori,
The charcoal is more brownish than grey with splashes of black. I recommend ordering a sample to see for yourself. Otherwise, there is no other color of PaperIllusion that has black in it at this time.
Samples of Charcoal are available here:

Thanks for asking!

What kind of polyurethane seal should be used after the wallpaper has been applied. I tried on type and it left the walpaper with a yellow tint. What should I try for the rest of the wallpaper?

Are you using the paperillusion over a countertop? Here’s a link to someone who did their counter tops and how they did it:

I signed up last year for the free newsletter and haven’t received not one copy of it. How often is it put out?
The resources under Writers’ Circle have helped me a lot. I’ve gathered some of my materials and have yet to put my book in order. Thank you for being so generous with helping us to put our memories together.

Hi Lucille,
Are you referring to the Memoir Lane newsletter? I’m sorry I haven’t sent any issues out in quite a while. I’ve been focusing a lot of my attention on my Paper It Fun! and personal blogs. I hope to add a new blog to the MemoirsByMe.com site this year…which should help bring fresh material and provide a channel of communication to those interested in sharing their stories.
I’m glad to hear the resources have helped you. If there’s anything in particular you’d like to see more of, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do. Writing is such a passion of mine and I enjoy encouraging others to share their stories as well.
Good luck as you get your memories down on paper…enjoy the journey.
Carrie
