It's getting close...the party is next weekend. Today's project was not hard at all. I love easy projects that go just like I imagined! This party is for our large extended family and a few close friends. We needed a sign board that gives the party guests an idea of what is available and when they should move on to the next activity. I scavenged through hubs wood stash in the garage and found an appropriate board. It is a piece of particle board about 2 feet by 4 feet. A trip to Walmart, a can of Rust-Oleum Textured Black spray paint, and 10 minutes later (plus some drying time) I have a chalk board. I didn't even bother sanding it because I think the slight roughness of the board helps release the chalk. I borrowed some colored chalk from the grands art box and... we have a sign. There will probably be some adjustments, but I like the look a lot.
Tomorrow I'm headed to help start putting up the decorations at a cousins house. I'm super excited as she and her daughter sculpted some wire ghost silhouettes like we saw on Pinterest. The Pinterest pin led back to a flickr pic and had no instructions, so she winged it. Want a sneak peek? Here are a couple of pictures she sent to me via her mobile phone.
She bent, shaped and squeezed some inexpensive chicken wire to make the shapes.
