Don't act so surprised...

I actually made a craft that...worked. Okay, fine, even I'M surprised. But this actually turned out well (for a change...my Pinterest crafts don't always go so hot). What was it? Why, it was a homemade chalkboard frame for our engagement pictures tomorrow!

And how did I do this? I bought a cheap picture frame at Wal-Mart. It's one of those with the really thin frames (think 1 millimeter) that looks like there IS no frame, and the glass pops in the front. I popped the glass out and gave it a couple of coats with spray paint chalkboard paint. I hot-glued a piece of ribbon so that the "chalkboard" would hand, and put two bows where the ribbon met the chalkboard (I really, really hope it doesn't look too much like an "It's a Boy" chalkboard or something...). I bought chalk and...voila! It was remarkably easy, and I think I made B pretty nervous when I said, "Let's see what else I can chalkboard-paint!" But seriously...this could be fun.

And what does it look like? Well, you'll just have to stay tuned until after our pictures are taken, won't you?
