Last week was super special as my friend Meredith and I saw the mural we have been working on since November come to life at Ability KC, a local organization that serves children with disabilities. Our fellow Hallmarkers volunteered to help us transfer and paint the 28 foot mural over four days (many of which participated through #My5Days!). Take a peek at the final mural design and time-lapse video below, I hope that the patients and staff at Ability KC enjoy this mural for many years to come!

Hallmark Elementary School Mural
I had the opportunity to help paint this amazing mural at a local elementary school close to Hallmark! Lynn Giunta, Barb Mizik, and Livy long had the idea to paint a mural somewhere in the community and Livy designed the mural based off the ideas of the fifth graders at the school. Lots of us were then able to help bring the mural to life! Take a look at the time lapse Hallmark's Union Hill Studio captured over the few days of painting and learn more about the project over on Think.Make.Share.
