Chalkboard Makeover

Hi all. Here is my latest project...I have been very creative lately as I am not in work. it started life as a crumbling very old picture frame. I "rescued" it from a derelict house I was nosing around. "Fingers Flynn" was on the job!

I painted it, put some hardboard inside and painted that with blackboard paint. Next I used a front page from some antique sheet music to add an interesting touch at the top, trimmed that with some vintage wallpaper border.

 Then I just added a piece of chalk on a string...and wrote a cheeky message for my husband.

Result...hubby not happy - dog very happy!

I am going away for a couple of weeks but hope to have access to a computer during it to put a few posts on here.

Oh well done! You are on a creative streak! Can't believe that the old frame you "found" turned into such a thing of beauty.

Thanks for checking out my posts. I am so new to this, I still get confused at times. Love the note about hubby's dinner being in the dog...that's actually happened here.

I'll certainly be back to see you.
