I was looking for a free idea for my indoor seed starter garden. I wanted to make garden stakes that could be used in my plants but didn't cost anything. 

I recently found a very ugly picture in  a really beautiful frame.

Luckily... My Valspar free sample came today!
I popped out the picture and gave the frame a coat of white. 


The frame looks beautiful in white!



Then I painted the backing board that was inside the frame with chalkboard paint.



I let the paint dry, and then rubbed the side of the  chalk over the board and erased it, this keeps the chalk  writing from staining the chalkboard.

And the result is an awesome chalkboard in a beautiful white frame!

My daughter had the pleasure and privilege to have her wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

If you ever get a chance to donate to this wonderful charity please consider this one...

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children who have life-threatening medical conditions. 

My youngest daughter has Cystic Fibrosis. She had her wish of a room make-over granted. Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening, chronic disease that effects the lungs and digestive systems of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States.

A room make-over was my daughter's wish. She wanted a beautiful space she could call her own. She wanted to have privacy and comfort where she could watch televisi…

I saw some cute clay tags and I thought I'd try them with my own spin.

Today I'm thinking about creating fun eggs.
