Personal Chalkboards for Grandkids

Jess, Ryan and 4 children came for the weekend. In a perfect world we would have been able to go outside and sled, build a snowman, go to the barn to see the cats, anything to use up bottled up energy....but a perfect world it is not...with a 25 below wind chill we were confined to the house. Time for a kid project!! We decided on their own personal blackboards for their bedroom doors. Patterns were made for a skirt board for the girls and a tee shirt board for Justin. Supplies were gathered up and a project was underway.

The next time they come we tackle a project with the
sewing machine.
