Wedding Chalkboards

 

My friend's daughter is getting married

and for some of the decorations on the wall

we are going to have chalkboards.

 

Found some cute quotes about love and marriage and did them up.

 

Here are two of them

(we are going to have six in total)

 

 

This is a quote the bride wanted.

 

 

These were done with a chalk marker

on

 black poster board so that they didn't smear

 if someone touched them and then slipped the

 poster board onto a frame.

Mother's Day Chalkboard

 

With Mother's Day right around the corner I

 found myself looking for a good quote for my chalkboard.

 

I came across this Mother's day quote.

 

I changed it a little to fit my chalkboard.

 

I love it.

 

But not as much as I love my mother!

 

 

 

Happy Mother's Day to everyone that has:

 

Slept on the floor next to a crib

Who's been puked, peed and spit-up on

Eaten the crusts on a PB&J sandwich for her lunch

Played  hours of pretend

Became a free hire taxi driver

Found everything that was "lost"in the house

Brought oranges for the whole soccer team

Embarrassed their child in public

Who actually listened to their child do home reading

Held a sick child through the whole night

Dropped everything at anytime

Replaced the toilet paper roll

Kissed all boo boos better

Packed a kajillion lunches and snacks

Put up with a public tantrum

Been a cheerleader.

and

Loved unconditionally.

 

 

Thanks MOM.

4 Easy Steps to Art

 

It's spring break here and I'm trying to keep the kids busy.

 

So far we've....

 

We've gone to a movie

(Mr. Peabody and Sherman)

 

Iced sugar cookies

 

Played with our friends

 

and made some cool looking art with our cousins.

 

I found this artist on

pinterest and thought it

would make a fun project for the older kids.

 

 

It's so easy and I think the final results are terrific.

 

 

1.First we cut out shapes from cereal boxes and covered them in magazine pages.

2. Then we covered out canvases with paint

3. Then we glued around the edges of the cardboard shapes with seed beads (which then were painted gold) or "dot art" with gold paint.

4. Then we arranged them and glued them down.

 

Voila

 

 

This is a close up of the seed bead technique.

 

 

and this is a close up of the "dot art" technique.

 

 

Super fun and super easy.

 

I think I might have to try my hand at it.
