Chalk Paint Project

It worked!

But, I learned something. Keep reading.

I was going to wait and give the Easter egg chalk board to Josie in her Easter basket, but decided she should enjoy it now.

When I saw the wooden plaque at Michael's it reminded me of an Easter egg. It was in the same section of the store as the houses I've been making.

The most expensive part of the project was the chalk paint ($7.99) The plaque was $1.49.

The 40% off coupon for Michael's, made the chalk paint reasonable. I have all kinds of ideas for using the rest of my chalk paint, including pots for our eventual herb garden. The biggest thing about this project is making sure you look over the wood, especially the center to make sure it doesn't have any big dents or divots. I didn't do that and Josie's board has a pretty deep groove. It still works, but a flat surface is really key. She doesn't care and that's all that matters.

Don't forget to sign up for my Easter give-away.

Just leave a comment in this entry and I'll draw a random winner on March 15th at 8pm (EST - Eastern Standard Time). I'll even fill the container with some special Easter candy. I hope your weekend has been a relaxing one.

PS. Thank you for my beautiful bunny teapot, Staci. I just love it!!
