Chalk It Up

In its younger days,
this was a regular silver cookie sheet,
but it had browned as much as
the cookies that had baked on it
and I loved the way it aged.

I planned to use it as a magnet board in my kitchen,
but alas, it wasn't magnetic.
I knew I could still bake up something with it -
just not cookies.

It just needed that chalkboard ingredient!

When my youngest son saw it,
he said, "You haven't baked cookies in forever."
Well, forever is an exaggeration,
but not since Christmas and
I can't remember when before that,
so this will be a good reminder for me.

I love the chalky residue left by "priming"
it with the chalk - it's almost like flour on the pan.

Since I already had the paint out
and didn't want to clean the brush
after using it just that little bit,
I looked around for what else,
needed a little blackboard love.

I bought a stack of small, old dry erase boards
last week and planned to turn
them into framed chalkboards,
but spotted my stash of old metal clothing hangers.
I'd rather have something hanging
on the wall than setting somewhere
so this was a better choice.

This one is available at
Knick of Time on Etsy.
& I can create more than one.

I've got chalkboard fever right now,
so nothing is safe from my paintbrush.

Blessings,

Angie
