NOT BRAVE ENOUGH YET



I love all the blogs I see that have been brave enough to paint a wall or large section with Chalkboard paint. I feel I have the perfect spot but I lack the courage ( and possibly the ability to convice hubby) to go for it. I recently bought Peel and Stick chalkboard from Lillian Vernon. It came with 4 9"x12" panels. The packaging says you can remove and reposition. I was going to use them in the family room for girlie girl but found something else for there so I've had these in my bin to use eventually. Today I thought I would stick them in that perfect place and see how they look. Of course they don't take up near the amount of space but it's still a good for a test run for painting the whole wall. I like it (sorry my picture taking is so poor. We'll see what hubby says when he gets home and maybe I will add chalkboard paint to my list of TO DO's.

IT'S MY PARTY AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO


Today marks 2 momentous occasions. Girlie-girl started kindergarten and I celebrate a birthday. A few tears were shed as I waved her good-bye at the bus stop. Nothing to worry about, she loved her first day. She's getting so big. On the other hand I am still trying to love the idea that I am a year older. It's growing on me. Of course the presents, cake and cards helped.
