Chalkboard Paint

No, I didn't paint Henry!

But he is black.....all over...

no other color except inside his mouth and he has black spots even on his tongue!

Makes photography a challenge!

Sunday was his first birthday

and his parents

gave him a party!

Lots of people and I think about 7 dog guests!

Everyone had a great time!

And all the dogs... pretty much... wore hats... at least for awhile!

So...about the chalkboard paint.... I finally found it...at Lowe's! a few weeks ago... I painted an old gaudy gold frame glossy white. I painted a canvas with the chalkboard paint..... I need to work on my chalk writing skills. I think I need some better chalk, too... but I can't seem to remember to look for it when I'm out.

Below is an old aluminum tray that belonged to my mother-in-law!

I knew I needed to have that!

Who knew it was sooooo bumpy in the middle!

This is what it looks like on the back....

I'm hanging it in the kitchen.

I wrote Chalk on it as a reminder!

And after I made those.... I saw this..... go look! Look at this plate!! Have you used chalkboard paint yet?
