Got Chalk?

Blogger was under maintenance, it's back now but they are still working on restoring some of the data, I was abit worried that i might have to find other free blog sites to create a new blog, phew!

But all's well that ends well, i had time to do something else while waiting for blogger to work again, I did a bit of craft using this Ronseal Blackboard paint that i bought awhile back, I had in mind to use it within a frame for a menu or scribble something with a chalk.


..but I dont have a frame for it so i use it on wooden hearts instead that i bought on ebay last year, need to stock up more coz i'm thinking to decoupage them also.


I painted the hearts a few coats of the paint front and back so they can be used both sides as tags, just use chalks and write on it, easy to wipe and re-write. So I now find it easier to know which basket contains what :)

My first attempt on these wooden hearts was last year when I handpainted them with acrylic and crayons in time for christmas.


This was taken in december and they're abit messy but rest assured, i'll be trying it again once i got more and sell them, you know what they say, practice makes perfect :)

  4. Cute idea as usual Susan! I just did blackboard paint on some of my kitchen storage jars - I was always confusing which rice was which.

  7. Susan...what a nice idea! I like the baskets very much. The chalk hearts add a bit of nostalgia - remember when you were a girl in school wanting to use the chalk on the board? I do.

    You decorate so lovely. I always like to see your new projects. Glad your blog site is a-okay.

    Have a sweet weekend,
