| | Does anyone know where you can find paper, that would be similar to a mirror, or at least something shiny enough to see some of your reflection. I am using this in the slot for the WANTED poster as the front of my salvation book that I have made. I may try aluminum foil, but thought someone might know of something that would work better. Thanks! Kim in WV |

| I made wanted posters and searched our local craft stores for mirror paper and never found any. Since I had procrastinated, my husband sent me to Advance Auto to look at the reflective paper you put on car windows. I didn't end up getting that but right across the aisle were replacement mirrors of all sorts. This included a cardboard type backed mirror that the package said you could cut with scissors. It was perfect! I don't have it here but I would guess it was about 7"x10". If you need more details, I have the package at church.

| | Thank you Cindy, I will definitely check that out, sounds exactly what I need. Do you remember how expensive it was. Again, appreciate your help. Tonight is our Night #1 and just finishing up the small details. Kim in WV |

| It was a bit pricey -- like $6-7 a sheet but was exactly what I was looking for.

| | I went to Advance Auto at lunch, before I got your price email, but unfortunately for the number of books I am doing, that won't fit my budget. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. Thanks though Cindy! Kim in WV |

| | Thanks for all the help everyone. Just curious where in Jo-Ann's did you find this? I wasn't sure if it was with the scrapbook stuff or somewhere else. There is one near our church and I plan to stop tonight. The mirror board on the school site would be perfect, but unfortunately not enough time to order it without paying expensive shipping. Our only school supply store in the area has discontinued carrying the mirror board. Kim in WV |

| | It is usually with the scrap book stuff. Art supply stores often carry it. In a pinch, you can use old mylar ballons or aluminium foil. |

| I just found some mirrored paper at the teacher store in Grand Rapids. It was perfect for the journal---affordable and just the right size. It looks great! Check your local teacher's store!
