Christmas Chalkboard Art

allie • December 10, 2012

I decided after having my chalkboard look the same for the last 6 months, that it was time to change it up…and what better time than Christmas to do it.  It’s pretty much free decorating, and oh how I love that!


You need to know now that I am by no means an artist…I do not have that creative bug. I am a crafter. I find ideas I like and copy them. Shocking…I know. So, when I went to change my chalkboard the first thing I did was google Christmas chalkboard art..I told you I wasn’t creative. It’s amazing all the fun sayings and fonts you find when you do that. So, I found a saying I liked and then modified it to fit my area. I also knew I wanted to incorporate a wreath into it…so I do use my huge supply of creativity to “tweak” :)

Here’s how it looks in the room….

I hung the wreath by just drilling in a screw to the sheet rock to hang on. I’ll worry about patching later:) Next year I may have to use a command strip…I hear 3M makes some good ones:)


and last one…

I made a new skirt for my sink as well, I had a shower curtain from our last house that I found and thought it would bring in some festive red!


While I was at my friends house she asked if I would do some chalkboard art on a door they have painted…here’s how her’s turned out…

That’s what we do on our play dates..what do you do on yours:)

The Oaks final outdoor reveal

I pulled off the biggest surprise I've ever done... I can't believe it!! So a little back story - 17 years ago Ryan sold his prized possession, his 1991 Mazda Miata, to help fund a much needed mini van for our baby on the way. After I got pregnant I quit my job and we went from 2 incomes down to 1 income. We knew that a 2 person convertible just wasn't practical and that the finances could be used in a better way. So we sold it... Fast forward 17 years and it all comes back full circle. I put my 17 year old son Tate on the task of finding us a Miata that looked just like dads, and he blew it out of the water. He found the perfect car on Facebook Marketplace In great condition! He drove almost 3 hours to pick it up with a buddy and pulled off the best surprise ever!!! Also to note Tate has never driven through the Twin Cities or Driven a stick shift on any road besides a gravel one close to the cabin. BUT he was confident and crushed the challenge!! We stored it for the night and gave it to him the next day! I think Ryan's reaction says it all (watch the mini vlog below!) Our "19th" anniversary isn't until November but what fun is a convertible if you can't drive it in the summer, so we gave it to him early and are so happy we did! *make sure to read until the end for a good laugh ;)
