New chalkboard design! 2 tips for chalkboard design!

I love my chalk board and here I am at it again! I found two things very helpful toady when writing my chalkboard piece!

1 straight edge- have some sort of straight edge to do lines to write on and help with keeping your letters straight!

2 wet and dry- have a wet and dry eraser or paper towel handy to help fix little mistakes and erase writing lines! Make sure to wipe with wet and then wipe with the dry so it doesn't leave chalk marks

I am still a beginner so I am just getting the hang of this but I will be posting more tips as I learn them! Good luck with your chalking!!!!

Hospital Shadow Boxes


Back before Christmas my mom picked me up some new treasure from my favorite store, Home Goods!!!
Shadow boxes!!!! These are my first shadow boxes and I was instantly in love!!! The wood is tarnished looking and the back is burlap!! I couldn't have found better ones in tried! The best part was they were only $13 each!!!
I didn't even have to think twice about what I wanted to do, I had known from te moment I saw them I wanted to do both girls a hospital shadow box!

It only took a few months lol with the holidays and new year I had to push my project to the side. I finally got to start them the other day!!!

Sophia's is done! And it was a blast to make them! I miss how tiny she was!
I am still working on Audrey's because some items are with my mom but I am hoping to finish it soon! 

They were so easy and fun and with the shadow box there are infinite possibilities of what someone could do!!!
