APRIL PROJECTS!

Finally it is getting warm enough to get back to some painting and spray painting projects!
I've been working on some chalkboard projects and here are a couple of pictures for you.....
Well, I have about an hour before I have to pick the boys up at school so must hurry off to the Sally Ann down the street as I've heard from my friend Tracey at raggygirlvintage that there is some good junk to be found there today!
Happy junking and creating!!!

    Hi Janis,
    I love the pink flowers and the message board. Wouldn't it be great to have breakfast at Tiffany's!! Beautiful.

    Hope you find some good junk at the shop.

    I LOVE those!! I'm going to try that with a vintage tray I have, did you spray straight onto the tray or put something over it?

    I love the chalkboard trays! What a clever idea. I've got tons of painting to catch up on myself. We have had a lingering winter here in Utah so I'm anxious to get out there and make a dent in my pile.

    I just bought a can of chalk board paint but it's raining here so the project will have to wait. I too have a tray waiting to become a message board ~ inspired by you of course! :) Love your printing! Enjoy the good weather.
