I too have to two different sized file cabinets just like yours and realized that the scrapbook paper wouldn't fit the larger sized drawers. So I wasn't sure that I wanted to tackle it. Now I think I will try finding some contact paper that I like for the drawers. I will let you know how it goes.<br /><br />AnnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09195221698388349352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943861818254304964.post-76544175740912539712012-07-16T23:17:38.563-04:002012-07-16T23:17:38.563-04:00I love the highlighter bucket sign.

Funny thing is I discovered today that I'm not a Mod Podge expert either while sealing my newly painted terracotta pots - definitely had some leftover clumpage. Great to find another 4th grade teacher & happy to be your newest follower.
