JUNE 30


Chalkboard paint!  Somebody stop me!  soon everything will be covered in the stuff..why does it so delight me?...I am hooked...
VERBAL GUEST ROOM ART


INGREDIENTS:
#1  two canvas paintings...purchased at Goodwill for $4.99 each ( this might be the toughest step of  this project..standing in line with these horrible pieces of someone's original art and hoping no one thinks you actually like 'em..)
#2  paint canvas with few coats of chalkboard paint ..dries fast and doesn't take much to quickly erase the 'picassos'
#3  with chalk write your 'message' ..you could include your guests' name for a personal touch....or list the house rules...ie...NO SMOKING ...no room service available.... breakfast at noon....




CLEVER CLEAVER MENU 'BOARD'



..chalkboard paint works on metal stuff too...I didn't have any primer for this project...so     painted on a layer of white glue (is there any task too big for white glue??) then the paint ....then the message ...

Gotta go...the side of the refrigerator looks like it could use some ...

ORCA'S PACIFIC GROVE?




..seems the orcas are making an appearance in the bay...these looking playful but in reality were cornering a whale, ultimately killing it.  Law of the jungle and all that...


..ta ta for now...
