My mom was right (again)




Landon, the budding artist, took to our beautiful rocking chair with a pen ... twice. You can see his artistic creation, in all it's glory *sigh* I had no idea how to get this out, so I of course called Grandma. She told me hairspray (!!!!!). I doubted her, but after looking up "cleaning pen ink from upholstery" on google and finding everyone else agreed with her, I gave it a shot. And guess what -- it WORKED!! Like a charm! I couldn't believe it.
so now the chair has been restored (for the most part ... after the hairspray I soaked it down with a spraybottle of water, it's still drying, but I don't think there will be hairspray stains left behind). I'm amazed, and once again humbled that truly, mom does know best.
