Rainy day off

I am getting pretty sick of the weather here lately… All I wanted to do today was go to the playground and have family day but mother nature had other plans. We played inside all day and I worked on a few little things around the house:)

I have been dying to make a chalkboard for the kitchen counter- I can’t tell you how many times I have left sweet notes (and by sweet I mean a grocery or honey-do list) for Chad and he hasn’t seen them on the counter so this will solve that problem! ( I think Chad was more excited about it than me because I let him write the first message!)

I don’t know if it was smart of me to do this but I just primed and painted the frame and then painted the chalkboard straight onto the glass… it worked!

 

This next thing was sort of a fail I think..I am not sure where I’m going to put it and I don’t know if it looks all that great haha.  I bought a plain wooden tray at Michaels for $.65 and painted it yellow. I got a piece of scrap book paper and lined the bottom and modge podged it …

meh… It’s okay I guess. I have been dying to tie some yellow into my kitchen but wasn’t sure how to do it so I guess this works.

I moved it to my desk…later in the day.

And the last thing I did was to take one of my spray  painting projects and do a little chalkboard paint magic with it:

It needs some touching up for sure but this little face was excited to have his own cookie jar!

 

Also I have to discuss how much I love our backyard view and the trees that are starting to bloom!!!

 

Hooray for a wonderful day with my little family:)
