A Simple Project Day...


 Today I worked on another message board project...a very simple one, that could be adapted for many other projects!  I had two vintage green blackboards (or would they be greenboards?)~ measuring 10-1/2" x 13", they are a cute size for a message board.  I used some rub-on words that I had leftover from another project...I'm sure the "remember" words were meant for another meaning, but hey, it works...


I glued on some old wood scrabble trays for chalk holders and a metal clip for paper messages.  I'm going to drill small holes at the top corners for easy hanging.



A very simple project- kids could do this one, too!  I'll leave you with some shots from my front entry...just love the colors this year!




Until next time...
Linda

  18. AARGH!!!
    I have to get up off the couch and go dig through my recycle. I tossed my scrabble game after taking out all the letter tiles. I couldn't figure out what to do with the letter holders!!!!
    Where did you get the cute-as-pie chalk boards??

  19. Hi Linda,
    Another great idea!!! Fun finds also from the garage sales.
    Isn't our weather something!!!
    I was happy to rescue those cards..usually they keep them and sell them at the estate sales..
    Warmly,
    Deb :)
