My computer went awol and I'm having to share my husbands...and keep everything on an external hard drive. Royal pain in the butt so I haven't been updating my blog. Sorry to those who may care. :)
I've been doing a lot so I'll try to put up a few every few days at least.
Oy...I just tried to upload pictures and it's only letting me click one at a time. I can't tell you how much that displeases me and makes it even more unlikely for me to do regular updates. I don't have time for one picture at a time!
Love Chalk board. I saw something similar to this on Pinterest, but couldn't find it again so just did my own thing.
Took a 1X6 and painted it all white on one side then painted part of it with chalk paint. I have horrid handwriting so used a stencil for the (I love you because)
I took craft sticks and gave my husband and myself each two so our baby could leave messages for us and so we could leave them for eachother. There is velcro on the back of these and on the top of the I love you.
Little bit of ribbon detail to make it a bit prettier.
The finished product. You can see the other names sitting on the top.
I had one dowel on it, and the chalk wanted to roll off too easy. So I added another, and ended up splitting it, but since it is only chalk, it's not heavy. The chalk was outside for a long time so looks a little beat up. There is also a dowel on the back to hold it out from the wall a bit so it's not at a downward angle.
