Chalk Art.

Lately.. I'm kind of obsessed.

It started when I first saw this pin.



And totally copied it. No shame. I did however, take a crappy cell phone picture at night of it.

Sorry guys.



And, then.. The Nester wrote about it.



That Dana is just Ah-mazing, isn't she? Amazing. 

Welp, then I just kept going.. and going.. and going with it.

I really love having a chalkboard in the kitchen. Dust and all. Some days, when I walk past it and it's had the same little art on it for a bit it says "Rachelle.. Take a minute, won't ya?"

So I do.




Happy Monday!

Or, if you're in Michigan, specifically the Kzoo area.. Happy Oberon day. It's all I've heard about today. :) I sure don't enjoy beer but I'll say hip hip hooray for the Michigan spokesperson beer of Summer!

*Also! Please, if you're going to pin any images that aren't mine make sure to pin them directly from their site. Let's all play fair shall we?*

    I lived there for 5 years and don't remember Oberon day.. maybe it's because I hate beer.. LOL! Fun idea on a chalk wall.

    Lol--I'm not from MI but I lived in Chicago for years. While there I worked at a bar that sold Oberon. The mere mention of it takes me back to evenings in the beer garden :)

    I love that saying! I have a chalkboard in my kitchen and I write quotes on it every once in awhile. The kids notice, believe me!! I might borrow yours but it won't be that fancy.
    Chalk markers are awesome and NO dust. The dust did me in so I switched to the markers and we're all happy. Michael's sells them now. I ordered mine on line.

    I think it's fun you can change it whenever you want to. :) I want a smaller version in my kitchen!

    Wow! I do not think I would have as steady a hand as you apparently do when it comes to creating chalk art! Very cute. I'm with a previous poster - it would take me a looong time to erase this if I lived there.
