More quick projects and cheap ideas

I wanted chalkboards for my wall - but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for - so I bought inexpensive ($5) white frames and chalkboard paint at Home Depot and 3 coats later I got exactly what I wanted.

I also collected frames on clearance and in dollar sections then painted them the colors I wanted and inserted my own images. (I went with a bird theme and all of the pictures came from the fronts of Behr paint sample fold-outs - FREE!!

Late Night Rendezvous

I'm having a relationship with my computer - seeing as my husband knows I don't think it can be considered illicit any longer... Poo my first chance at being exciting, oh well?  A super huge thanks to Aunt Patty for perpetuating the madness. At least now I have an excuse for staying up way past my bedtime - still trying to explain to a preschooler that PB&M&C (Peanut Butter & Mayo & Cheese) is ALL the rage because I'm drifting through the day is a bit nuts. I really wish she'd be a bit more understanding...geez! The 20 new blogs I ran across last night we chocked full of valuable info - and it's not like I didn't let her wear a tutu practically everywhere last week if she didn't tell the neighbors I was mainlining RC cola! Everybody is a critic! Biggest news though Patty has helped me through my design dilemma and I can't wait to get finished with this weekends project so I can begin the next one. Speaking of said project, anybody have comments or advice or info on chalk paint - weighing that against another paint option for a table - I'm vaclempt - discuss...
