Chalkboard Paint Party!! whoo-hoo!!

There is a chalkboard paint phenomena going on, and we're gonna celebrate! I'll show you mine, and then you show me yours:)
(updated: I'm linking up this older post to 320 Sycamore, Chalkboard ideas:) Welcome!
This is one of the first chalkboards I ever made. After I redecorated our office last year I used some leftover material from the curtains and created a scalloped border on the chalkboard below. It's very matchy-matchy!

I got this wooden plate at Old Time Pottery for $2.99. It's cute, but I wanted to do something different on it. I used chalkboard spray paint on this one, and then drilled holes in it and made the little swag on top. Now that I'm looking at it, I think a big puffy ribbon tied through the holes would be much cuter. Well, anyway...another project for another day!

I made this chalkboard for my second book, Tiles Gone Wild. It is a large piece of wood that I painted with chalkboard paint, mosaic-ed the edges with pink stained glass, used a scrabble ledger for the chalk holder, and made an inside border with bottlecaps and resin. This was a fun piece!


I already showed you this 99 cent goodwill make-over.. But if you want to see it more closely, go here.
With this one, I found this pretty pink pot at Goodwill. I thought it was a little pricey at $1.99, but it was exactly what I had been looking for. I taped it off and used the new white chalkboard paint. The jar says 2-4 coats, but it needed 8! It houses my daughter's hair bows and barrettes.

And last but not least, I used the white chalkboard paint again to make organizing tags for my daughter's bins. I have to be honest with you...white chalkboard paint is not my favorite. I think I like the classic black. But they turned out cute enough.




Now it's your turn. Show us what you got! Please do the following:

  1. Link to the actual post and not just your general blog.


  2. Link back to here so everyone can find the other chalkboard paint partiers.


  3. Leave a comment and try to leave comments for the others too.


  4. Have fun and get inspired!

Hi Aimee
I painted the chalkboard tags on canvas paper. I'll be doing a tutorial next week for them:)

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..

When I was hurt in that motorcar accident my life would be changed eternally. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.

This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.

How dreadful was it? I has bedridden for 7 months, I had to have constant care and my clinic bills went through the roof!

Fortunately, I found a good referral site to help me.

I will post more later this period to tell you more about what I have been going through.

If you need an accident lawyer try the guys at

Everything about horse betting

Several states have enacted legislation allowing slot machines and other forms of gaming on-track. Tracks such as Mountaineer have used this additional source of revenue to improve their facilities, increase their purses and upgrade their overall level of racing. This legislation has also made it attractive for casino owners, such as Harrah's, to purchase and operate horse racing venues as a part of their business strategy.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse bet[/url]
The breeding, training and racing of horses in many countries is now a significant economic activity as, to a greater extent, is the gambling industry, which is largely supported by it. Exceptional horses can win millions of dollars and make millions more by providing stud services, such as horse breeding. Good quality race horses for example, is only available from few countries and few breeders this adds a great deal to the national income of the country involved.

The Triple Crown stands as the ultimate test of greatness, and that's why on the first Saturday in May each year, America's thoughts turn to horse racing and the hope of just one more Triple Crown winner. Because we do, after all, need another hero.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]bet on horse racing[/url]
Now that Ah Day has passed on the Preakness, eight other horses will be looking to spoil Barbaro's bid for the second leg of the Triple Crown. Two are returning from their Derby bids and six more that skipped the Run for the Roses.

One of the factors that can influence the outcome of your program is that many bookmakers set maximum stake limits which can keep you from placing your full wager, so make sure that there in no max limit with any of the bookies that you are dealing with.

Following the philosophy of pyramiding, what happens in this system is that you place a bet and if you come out a winner you re-invest the winnings on the next wager. So in horse racing, for example, you simply let it ride. Also, unlike the other betting systems, the Parlay System offers a lower amount of risk of all bettors for because they only need be concerned with a win, place or show selection or a combination thereof.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]betting football online[/url]
On the other hand if you were to lose then you would wager twice what your original bet was. According to proponents of the system, this strategy will eventually enable you to win the bets you place and when you win you would recover all your lost bets plus one unit profit against your initial wager.

So, having established that using a good Selection System is an absolute must if you want to make money from sports betting, how does the average Bettor actually go about making his/her betting selections? My research shows me that, in the main (ignoring the extremes), there are generally two approaches taken:

- The more conservative group looks at the "Short Odds" calls, and plays safe by selecting only those matches where they themselves feel very confident about the outcome.

- The more adventurous group analyses the matches and odds on offer, and then makes selections based on their own gut feeling about how the matches will turn out, making sure that the odds match their concept of a "value" bet.
