    So many beautiful ideas. I can’t wait to visit them all.

    Thank you for sharing my cheese markers.

  3. SO many great ideas! I am pinning them so I can go back and make a few new ones. I still have half of that quart of chalkboard paint! The chalk-art ones are amazing! Love the pots too. Thank you so much for joining in. Loved seeing your Santa sign again. Whatcha going to do this year?!

  4. I’d love to paint a small wall in my kitchen with chalk paint, but hubby can’t get his head around a black wall. Some fun ideas here that you’ve shared!
