Chalkboard frame

I stole this from my friend, Rachel and thought it was SOO adorable! She has 3 children, and it's a fun way for them to do a countdown until they see their dad again! I did one just to write notes, and wanted my own! :) 

Here is her tutorial from her blog:

I bought this cute frame in the clearance section at Jo-ann's.

And I knew it could use some sprucing up.

When the boys and I were leaving California,

we talked about needing someway to countdown until the next time we see Willie.

So, first, I took the glass out.

And painted it with my chalkboard paint.

It took quite a bit of coats.

Then, I used paint markers to write the message in yellow.

And I took my spray paint to the frame itself, using this great turquoise

I have been itching to use.

And finally, with my chalk, I filled in the sleeps we have left until we are together again!

What a fun way to look forward to May!
