Chalk It Up!: January 2013

http://chalkaboutit.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Follow along, It'll be fun! Monday, January 7, 2013. Last year (about a month or two ago) we mounted one of our 36"x24" chalkboards above our huge sectional. We weren't sure what should go there at first. Then we realized that a chalkboard in the livingroom/familyroom was the perfect fit. The colors (gold and black) match anything! And the artwork can change regularly. For the past few month the artwork of choice has been an inspirational quote. This month the quote is:. Each day is a new Beginning!

The frame for this chalkboard would be considered faux because it is made out of plastic, to look like an antique gold frame. Here is a recap of the progress of my work, from last summer. I started by testing my technique, colors and product on a concrete paver. The product that I used was Folkart Outdoor Opaque, by Plaid. And www.muralwizard.blogspot.com. A final note on the slate walkway. It has been a year since b...

Chalk It Up!: How to straighten curly hair...

http://chalkaboutit.blogspot.com/2012/11/how-to-straighten-curly-hair.html

Follow along, It'll be fun! Sunday, November 11, 2012. How to straighten curly hair. Do you ever start a post and don't have the energy to finish it? So you leave it sitting there as a draft, only to have it nagging at you until you finally come back to it and finish it! Well this is one of those posts. As the cooler weather finally hits Florida strange things begin to happen.to my hair. It's not curly enough to be considered curly and not wavy enough to have body. It's just frizzy! This stuff is amazing!

http://chalkaboutit.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-beginning.html

Follow along, It'll be fun! Sunday, May 24, 2009. When one door closes another one opens! Here I am again! Why am I starting a new blog? Because my old one, of almost two years and over 300 posts, has been removed by blogger. I'm not 100% sure why it was removed, something about it being hacked I think. I have looked into getting it back but it doesn't look promising. On to the new! It's time to rebuild! My new blog Chalk it up! So please join me on my journey by following (hint). And give it out freely!
