Chalkboard Art for my Love

-
Pinterest junkie that I am, I found this super cute idea a month or so ago. 
I got to enjoy the find this past weekend!


Again...I failed to take a before picture for a tutorial, which I am terribly sorry for, 
because I LOVE the way it turned out for my intentions.

I had been looking for a piece of art to put over my bed, I was totally loving all of the "love phrase" art that I was finding online. Wall quotes are some of my favorites, but I didn't want to limit what I had to say!
The chalk board idea was a cute one, so I improvised a bit and went hunting for a framed canvas.
This past weekend I found a perfectly sized pastel work, with a mat and frame.
It was a maroon/woodgrain and the picture was a drawing of a house.
I took apart the entire piece, removed the plexi-glass, mat and artwork. If I had to do it again, I would have gone out and purchased a foam board, but I decided to just chalkboard paint right over the print. (mounted on a foam board) Then I reassembled the mat and put it back in the frame minus the plexi. There is a slight bit of warping from the chalk paint being wet on a gloss paper, but it's hardly noticeable. I've changed the phrase 2x's, I think i like this one for a while though!

It says, "Every Love Story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite." 
Thanks for reading.

On Sunday my family gathered slowly and with much coffee to the place where we've gathered nearly every Sunday since March of 2020, the couch.  Our once, "excited to go to church in jammies", moods have now melted down into, "thank God no one can see my bed head and if we ever get back to normal, will we have forgotten that we can't fart whenever it happens upon us?" I know. Silly, but let's be honest, it will be weird.  Pastor Shawn kicked off this week with a fun title: If you Snooze, You Lose. He proceeded to share his lesson on time management < self management and challenged us to assess how we spend our time on social media and with television. This lesson piqued my interest most especially because I did not feel guilty AT ALL about how much social media time I've spent in the past week. So I eagerly opened up my settings and the family shared our "time spent" information with one another.  Although I was not feeling guilty, I did ...

Sleep. Depression? Mud.

 What does depression look like?  For me, sometimes it just looks like stepping back and not being the one who makes the joy happen around her.  It gets exhausting to feel like I'm the only person in my world driving the positive.  Do you ever feel like if you just shut your mouth and kept your thoughts to yourself entirely that all the good feelings would slow to a sad mud sinking halt. It does for me. It stops.  For the last 2-3 years, there has been no engine running in my circles that is not operated by me.  I need someone who makes it go when I can't.  Or not. I think I'll go sleep. Sleep is a good place where I don't have to do the going. Sleep.
