Finally , a Completed Pinterest Project

Ever have one of those days where absolutely nothing goes as planned?

Of course you have , everyone has.

And I had one today.

We are leaving tomorrow for a trip to New Orleans ( super excited about that ! ).

As you can imagine, I had tons of things to get done.

Including laundry.

The dryer quit.

Then Hubs broke the water line to the washer.

Not a good start to a busy day.

But it all turned out fine.

We had a spare dryer ( whole other story ),

 Hubs fixed the plumbing ( he is very handy ),

the laundry got done !

I haven't even begun to pack , but my house is clean.

I like to come home from a trip to a clean house.

Anyway , it was another gorgeous day day here in the trailerhood.

80 degrees again !

I'm hoping Mother Nature isn't just messing with us.

It made me ambitious to do a project.

A while back I had pinned this project

viv-spot.blogspot.com

and I have been wanting to create my own.

Well, a friend brought this into the store a few weeks ago

and the only thing I could think of is this would be so much better as a chalkboard !

Out came the chalkboard paint.

first coat

It only took two.

If I use chalkboard paint on metal or glass I give it a least 3 but usually 4 coats.

Remember that garbage bag of wine corks ?

Well they came out again too.

I don't know why I didn't take an "in progress" picture !

Geez....

I am VERY happy with how it turned out.

Here is a close up of the cork pattern.

Fun , huh?

Not sure where I'm going to put it yet.

Just glad it's done and out of my head !

I'm not sure what makes me happier,

the way this turned out or

that I finally created something that I pinned !

Also today...

Grandpa hung Addie's swing for her .

She loves it.

We couldn't find her sunglasses and she hates the sun on her eyes so Grandpa put his hat on her !

How about those boots !

I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful day as much as we did !

Not sure if I will have any posts next week or not.

I'm off to the Big Easy !
