After seeing the idea on Pinterest, I decided to make a cute chalkboard to hang on the wall and to document a new chapter in our lives.  To get started, I found a framed print of flowers at a resale store for half price.

I took the print out of the frame, flipped it over, and added several coats of chalkboard paint to it.

After putting the print back into the frame chalkboard side up, I now had a big chalkboard in a cute frame.  I thought about painting the frame, but actually liked the gold frame.

And now for the announcement the chalkboard was intended for:

{Our baby is due March 3.}

{This was still the result after 7+ tests.} {At about 5 or 6 weeks.}
