Remember this frame I scored at Salvation Army?
Well I cleaned it up and with a little paint it came out looking like this! 
I had a piece of board cut to fit, and covered it with chalkboard paint. Then I left it on my porch, my gated porch, to dry. I was so excited because it was exactly the perfect width to hang on the column in our kitchen. Oh the things I would chalk on this board! 
And then I went outside to get it in the morning, and it was gone. Somebody stole my frame! I'm so furious to think somebody would steal a DIY project from a stay-at-home mom! And to think that it's probably hanging in somebody's house right now! I hope they get a guilty conscious every time somebody asks where they got the gorgeous frame. It didn't cost much, but making my home look nice (oh and raising my son) is my livelihood! My home is what I have to show all day for what I do (oh and my son too). Ugh. Thankfully though, our Schwinn bikes that were sitting on the porch were not touched. And they now reside in our dining room until I can make room for them to fit in our teeny little utility room that already has one bike and a lot of stuff in it. So now our living area contains an outdoor table with four chairs and two bikes. Lovely.
