Happy Birthday Gramfield

My mom's mom would have been 100 on Feb 9th. My mom, sister, and I went to celebrate by going antiquing, and lunch. This is what my birthday "gift" was from my mom, an antique scale. Hill got a beaded purse and bird necklace....
My mom also found some really cool paper flowers that she bought.... As it so happened, on Sat morn when I went to my home page there was a video tutorial for them! What a coincidence....or not!

I made these this morning for my kid's teachers for Valentine's day.

PS - I also learned that Gramfield used to make ginger bread men cookies and to hang them she would tie the ribbon around their neck! Funnest laugh of the day was over that one!

AND DONE!

Using her new chalkboard wall!

I got bored with Red

I loved the red for years..... but that's just it, it had been years and I got bored. I got inspired from some bloggers who had done whole walls of black chalkboard paint. And after weeks of thinking about it just took the plunge. It's just paint right?

Before (last Christmas):

Taped:

Gotta say, I LOVE this black!!

Kids covering the whole wall with chalk. This is recommended before using the wall to write on.
