Tickled Pink #104

Hey guys! How is everyone’s week going?? Here in Florida we’ve been dealing with Tropical Storm Debby. Lots of bad weather but thankfully we are fine. The worst of it for us was a bunch of rainy days. Thankful for that!

I am sad to report that I don’t have any features this week. :( Thursday snuck up on me and I just did not have the time for it this time around. Blah.. I love featuring you all! Next week for sure!

No motivation..

Well, if you are wondering why I haven’t posted recently.. Here’s the answer:

Yep, Tropical Storm Debby.. Instead of taking my girls to the park or making some cute project, I am wondering if it is going to start pouring (again). Worrying about if we are under tornado watch, warning, etc.. Yesterday was Micheal’s only day off and we had to stay home all day because our area has some serious flooding going on. Like, an 18 wheeler got stuck it was so bad..

I have a few projects I’m working on right now, but it will probably be next week before I share.

Just wanted to check in with you guys. :) I will see you on Thursday night for Tickled Pink!

How to make a chalkboard

 


This is a project that I have had on my to-make list for a looooong time! Had I known how easy it was to actually do, I would have done it a while ago. :)

Now, I don’t have step-by step pics, simply because I did most of the painting after dark.. Obviously not ideal for pictures. Definitely idea for kid-free paint time, haha! But seriously it is so easy to do! If you have any questions, feel free to email me!

First, gather your supplies:
-Frame (I got mine at Hob Lob in the framing dept. when they had all of their frames 50% off!)
-Thin sheet of plywood (Got mine at Home Depot)
-Sand paper (Home Depot, too)
-Primer (Not sure the brand I got, but it was in the paint dept. at Walmart)
-Chalkboard paint (Got mine at Home Depot. See picture (taken with my phone) below)


Okay are you ready to laugh at how easy this is??

Step 1 – Cut plywood to fit in the opening of your frame
Step 2 – Sand and prime plywood and let dry.
Step 3 – Paint plywood with chalkboard paint (read the box, it tells you how long to wait between coats, etc) and let dry.
Step 3 – Attach wood to back of the frame (I used tack nails)
Step 4 –

Oh wait, there is no step 4, you’re done!! :)

So far, a certain 4 year old in our house has gotten the most use out of our new chalkboard.. :)
 

So, what do you think? Are you going to make one for your home? I think you should! :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I will be back on Thursday night for Tickled Pink, and then again on Friday to post a giveaway! Be sure to check back! ♥
