This morning...
It didn't start off too hot.
Emily doesn't like jeans much...
says they are stiff and prefers cotton leggings.
This morning was no exception.
Little Miss said that her jeans were so tight and stiff...
Oops!
I gave her LANEY'S jeans!
Still quite tired,
she managed to get her own jeans on.
Much better!
Yep, I get the MOM OF THE MORNING award! Geesh!

But...things were looking up!
We actually had snow flurries this afternoon!
The temps went down, so I puffed out my winter gear! Yippee!
AND....I finished MY Christmas gift!
For several years now, I have created artwork for moi!
This year's creation....
A hand painted framed CHALKBOARD!
*****
Last week my little helper (who obviously dressed herself) and I got to work!
I chalked out my piece.
Laney and I brought out Jon's handy level...just to keep it all straight.
A bit of red paint...
two coats of chalkboard paint...
and a ton of chalk to coat the whole board.
PRESTO!
I just finished today!
I will update it daily.
It's located off of the kitchen and mudroom area...
first thing you see when you walk in from the garage!
If Mr. Cutie Pie (who is sporting quite a loaf head look) could read, he would love it even more!
So, here's to a gift that keeps on giving!

*** And a little gift to you...
Here's the recipe to the GIANT GINGER COOKIES that Laney and I made yesterday. Oh so yum! (the link is acting weird...they are from BETTER HOMES and GARDENS)
What a FUN idea!! Why did you coat the whole thing with chalk after you painted it? Was that for fun, or does that help do something to it?
ReplyDeleteI read that you need to coat the whole board with chalk...but, no need to at all! Oh well, Laney and I had fun with that step anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that on your wall!! I so wish I had a big wall that I could do that on. You are so clever. Love the red too!
ReplyDeleteCute pic of your warm coat and winter wear! Stay warm!
PS- I am already really into The Help! I can't wait to find out why Celia stays home all day while Minny is cleaning... what is her secret... don't tell me! :)
LOVE the chalkboard!!! It turned out amazing!!!! Funny about the jeans (totally something I would do!)
ReplyDeleteLauren, Come down here and paint that on my wall!! I love it friend!! It's awesome and you are so very talented!! Love the frame painted in red with little bit of white coming through!! Poor Emily in Laney's jeans!! Andrew hates jeans too! He prefers to go to school in sweatpants or Adidas pants!
