I have a wall in my house that dont have not but a few (4) pictures on it... I want it to be a spot dedicated to the kids and my past... if its possible, but if it isn't then I want it to be just about the kids... they are my life now... my past isn't to important to me... any ideas? cause I aint home decor gifted.

Only a few....

Walpaper it with their art. Using gluesticks will prolly be your safest bet, if you want it to come down in the future.

Cover the wall with colourful scarfs from a thrift store... and then find pictures and images that 'match' the scarf... stick it up there.

Magnetic paint and washable crayons.

Another idea is to go to a craft store and get a large cork board. Cover it with fabric and then use it as a giant bulletin board. That could be used for the art. Then get matching photo frames (matching the fabric, one or more colors) and use that to hold photos of the kids. Also, if you have been given, or are given necklaces, or things on strings, you could thumbtack them to the boards. You could also tie in the colors of the room this way. If you wanted, you could pick a dominant color from the fabric you choose, and paint that wall that color. It would be making a statement, and be artistic as well. Each child could have their own board. And own color for frames. If you have something you especially like then you could frame it, and add a light over it (just like they do in the museums). And then you could change that picture out for a new one every now and again. It could be like the featured art, poem, or whatever they've made, of the month.
