I have discovered something. I have lived on the same map my whole life! That’s right, the San Gabriel Valley edition of the Los Angeles cities series, come to find out. I have lived 8 different places, not including the hospital I was born in, which is coincidently on the same map.

I have been enthralled by all of the map projects circulating on Pinterest and in Blogland and decided to jump on the bandwagon and make some map projects. The best part is that maps are free at the Auto Club if you are a member! The first project I made was map coasters of all the places I have lived.

Here is everything you need to make map coasters:

I started by plotting out all of the places I have lived on the map (not easy) and then tracing out the coasters in pencil (really not easy) but after some configuring and a bit of erasing I had my circles drawn. I marked the places I have lived with a turquoise Sharpie. I cut them out with scissors and applied Mod Podge to the coasters and laid the map circles on top. I covered everything with a coat of Mod Podge.

Here they are all finished…

Can you see the turquoise dot in the lower right corner? That’s my street!

With a glass of sangria, so perfect for summer!
