    I just found a recipe online for sidewalk paint after buying several of the Crayola sidewalk paint kits. WE now have a few rollers, brushes, and paint trays. Funny they wouldn't sell just the paint. Oh well we will just make our own and save a little cash.

    Oh how fun! My kids are grown but I love the idea of chalk paint! I think the kid in me wants to try this. Maybe a big sign for my youngest when she comes home for the weekend? (Or would that totally embarrass her?) Either way I think this is such a fun idea
    Thank you so much for following - I am following you back and enjoying your wonderful posts :)

    Did you see my first attempt at Chevron? Sans stencil! Not bad, right? Now if I could only do that with homemade sidewalk chalk... Love you V. Xo M

    Meredith, you make me laugh. I have no idea what Chevron is and all I could think is why is she messing with a gas company? I will have to check it out crafty chick. XO
