Crafting fun!

So Pat and I recently just experimented with chalk paint! We went to the local thrift store and picked up a picture frame with the glass included. We had heard that this paint can basically go on any surface, so we thought we would try glass. We took out the glass insert and brushed on the black paint. We let it dry and then tested its ability with a stick of white chalk. To our surprise, it actually worked-- really well actually, and the chalk stays on and wipes off really easily. We are super happy with it and plan on making a couple more of these!

This is a picture of the chalk board in the frame... Voila!

...We love this frame so much--it has a piece of twine running throughout the wood frame.
Happy fourth of July--I hope you all have a safe and fun-filled day!
