My DIY chalkboard & the inspiration

The original idea is from Jessica Garvin on Pinterest, http://littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com/ <--that is her blog. 
Below is what she used her chalkboard for.  I WILL use it for my Baby Bump one day!

She is so TALENTED!

My Chalkboard......I had a frame that the glass was broken.  I used plexiglass and chalkboard paint.

Spray painted the frame so it didn't blend so much.  VOILA!

I use it for quotes.



A little bit of my chalk.

Vacation countdown!
