Mother’s Day is just a few days away and I’m so excited because my mom is coming up from WV…YAY!  There are 20 of us in my immediate family and we are all going to be together, as well as some special friends too…another YAY!!
I still haven’t decided what to give my mom although I have made a few things in honor of Mother’s Day.  My latest little project was made from a thrift store purchase.  This is the end result:

My Princess bought these flowers with her own money and made me this card at church.  She wrapped them up yesterday and gave them to me because she couldn’t wait until Mother’s Day…what a sweetie!

And this is how I got there.  I took this tray I bought for a dollar or two at a thrift store…

Primed and painted it.  (Limeade is my new favorite color)

Then I taped it off and painted the inside with chalk board paint.

After it dried, I removed the tape and had a nice square of chalk board in the middle of the tray.

It’s perfect for little messages,

My Princess left this message for me this morning 🙂

or a new little piece of home decor!

My Better Half left this message this evening…Isn’t he creative!!??



It is a cute little addition to our house and would be perfect for someone to bring me breakfast in bed…hint, HINT!!
Blessings,
