| Recently I read about the benefits of having a little chalkboard on your front porch...you can greet guests with a little message, and people who stop by when you aren't home can leave a message for you. Brilliant! Then I so enjoyed the cute chalkboard at Ellen's home HERE, and that clinched it for me. Time to use that can of spray chalkboard paint that I bought 9 months ago! |
 |
| The steps were very simple. And since this is going outside, I didn't spend money on a nicer frame, nor go for perfection. I 'shopped' the house for an old 10x13 cheap wooden frame that I hadn't used in years. Took out the glass, cleaned the glass, then put both the frame and glass on newspaper out in the grass. I sanded the wooden frame just a bit so the paint would stick, then wiped it clean. |

| It took about 3 light coats of spray paint for both the frame and glass. So cool how the paint worked GREAT on the glass! I let them 'cure' overnight, and put them together this morning. Then made a quick no-sew bow out of green polkadot fabric and stuck it onto the frame with sticky tack. |

| Used my best First Grade Teacher handwriting to print Autumn Greetings with a big stick of chalk and she was done! (Hi Gracie Pup!) |

| Fun, easy, free...my kind of project!! Give it a try...I'm sure I'll enjoy adding different embellishments to the frame for each season. Christmas will be fun for that!
