blackboards & messages

i always keep an eye out for old vintage frames and
paintings, because they make the best blackboards.

when it comes to using a blackboard, you are only limited by
your imagination.
they are great in the kitchen for shopping lists and menus,
for leaving messages for loved ones,
or keeping those never ending "TO DO" lists.
each one got a different colour
before....
you can see some of my other blackboard creations in these posts
here and
here.

    What a terrific idea. I am amazed at other people's creativity. I love chalkboards but never thought of making one from an ugly old picture.
