Stayed home on a Friday night so the boy could go visit a friend. Decided to get my crafty on.
A little while ago I decided that I wanted to make a chalkboard using a frame. I went to the store and bought inexpensive chalkboard paint as I wasn't sure how it was going to work. I can tell you this, if you want to paint glass, get the multi-purpose paint or get chalkboard spray paint. The paint I bought, does not want to adhere to the glass. Last night, I was painting the second chalkboard that I was making and ended up painting the piece of paper that comes behind the frame. Genius! This was awesome!! The paint didn't have blotches or streaks and was like drawing on a real chalkboard! The only downside is is that the paper isn't stiff so it has a bit of a poof to it while in the frame but still really awesome!!
Than I made a banner, it was a really easy banner, no frills no nothing. At this point, I could feel I was getting more and more tired but I still continued. By the time I was done with the bits of the banner, it was 10:30 and I was done. Did a crappy clean up job and called it a night.
I'd have to say it was a productive night but still need a few more of those nights to get done what I set out to accomplish.
As you can tell, I didn't stage my picture props the best, oh well, you get the gist :)
