playing with chalk!


 Ive been playing with chalk board paint.  you can paint anything!  I painted an old wooden tray.  I left the topside the way it was so I can still use it the other way.  but I love that I can chalk on it and write or draw what ever I want on it.  so much fun to play with!  just think of the possibilities of things that you could paint!   

just think what I can do with it for halloween!   oh.. dear..  we dont want halloween popping into my head yet!  
well... this was just a quick stop in..   Im off to the couch.  I woke up at 3:30 this morning to use the bathroom, got back in bed and took a bit to start to drift back off.  then just as I did, tonys alarm started beeping at 4:00..  he got up and the cats came and thought I should snuggle and pet them... and .. of course I did!  Then.. just as I was starting to drift off again, tony came to give me a kiss good bye which meant that it was 5:00...  so I got up..  Needless to say, Im a little tired tonight.
sooo.. off  I go!
sweet dreams and happy tomorrow!

That looks great Vivian! I was just looking at a bunch of unfinished wood pieces at Hobby Lobby this evening. They would be wonderful projects for chalkboard paint. Love your patriotic vignette!

Oh your 4th of July cuties are wonderful! I want some! I may just have to copy your cute spangly kids! I haven't painted with store bought chalk paint. I made some of my own and it was a disaster! Lol!
