Another not so small secret. That is just not me! Don't get me wrong, I have other talents, like being super punctual, pretty darn organized and having a hand written calendar/schedule/journal thats pretty awesome.
But the creativity/decorating/dressing myself in stylish ways gene just totally passed me by.
I am trying to venture out more in that department which brings me to the point of this post. My front porch was in need of something......I mean anything. I have seen those cute little chalkboard easels and went to buy one. I priced them anywhere from 40$ to 70$. No way. Not paying that much.
So I found a DIY tutorial for one online totaling about 20$ in materials and a little manual labor. So off the Lowes I went. I may or may not have had to return things twice due to my husband kindly telling me I had purchased the wrong size lumber and I guess you have to look at the wood and make sure they are really straight before buying them? Well no one told me that memo. I also had to call in some help when it came to using the skill saw and drill motor. Thankful for a super handy man. He showed me how and then let me do it on my own. Yeah I still sucked and some of the boards are cut a little crooked. But oh well. It turned out and my porch looks semi decent!
PS: the awesome artwork credit goes to my hubs. Found a pic online that I liked and he just totally duplicated it. Yeah hes pretty awesome!!
