Chalkboard Art Project

Chalkboard Art Decor Project : Chalk it up!!!!
Give the family a creative outlet. New artwork can be created daily.
Family and guests will want to fill the board with their creativity.
Having an chalkboard art canvas in a central part of your home such as
your kitchen or hallways makes it very convenient and accessible to the
whole family. It's Perfect to write down notes, grocery lists, and those
Spring to-do chore lists!!!!!

Chalk paints are easy-to-apply; they create a tough, slate-like chalkboard surface on wood, metal, plaster, plastic, or glass. So why not use it art canvases? They are fast drying, low gloss, durable, and washable. It goes on easy and levels out by itself for a smooth finish without runs. Chalkboard paint is so versatile, especially in the new delicious colours by Pebeo. It can be used on practically any surface from walls to floors. Flat surfaces such as tabletops are ideal surfaces for children’s artwork, keeping notes or playing a game. I just love this new format, because it non-toxic, water based and is applied with a paintbrush! Super easy, dries fast too! To view the full MIY Chalkboard Art project visit miycreations

Quick tips for Spring cleaning
1- Put on upbeat music that makes you happy, move and groove....
2- Get the kids to help, even if you have to do the job over again after, its teaching them to help and basic cleaning skills, make it fun or into a game...after all its their home too
3-Open the windows to let in some fresh air, out with the old energy in with the new
4-Set simple goals, do one room at a time, but do it all, the from walls to floor.Once a room is spring fresh clean from top to bottom, it will motivate you to do every room in the same manner. It's a most invigorating feeling!
5- Don't forget to clean those junk drawers, where everything seams to accumulate, for remember...it is called a junk drawer, because all the daily junk ends up there
6-Use green products as much as you can, recycle what you can, throw out broken things that don't work, donate good items that you simply don't need, or have not used in years... make a fresh start, pretend your moving, its a great way to get ride of a lot of stuff, that is just that stuff...minimalize, it's good for the soul!
7-Revamp and reuse what you can, save your money, it’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do!
8- Don’t forget to take water breaks to re-energize yourself, preferably outside to breathe in some fresh spring air.
9-Throw out any dead plants, replace them with fresh ones...its good feng shui
10- Most important...do it with a smile, the work will get done faster and you will be filling your home with new fresh positive energy to start the new season!

There's always a plus side to spring cleaning...its always amazes me the things one finds during spring cleaning, especially the recovery of lost items, I especially like to find money in the coach, and in pockets of spring cloths... its pays to spring clean after all!!!!

Happy Spring Cleaning :)

Welcome to "Make-it-yourself Creations by Maddylane"

Make-it-yourself Creations, transforming simply things into stunning creations to
decorate your house and home with style

I have been making things since I was a young girl. It's what we did in our home for the pure fun of it.
I like making things so much I became a designer. Now with the economy situation and the time changing it's never been more important to go back to basics and rediscovering the arts of making things in order to save where you can.
See how easy it is to make and create beautiful things for your home for less with flair. Many of these projects utilize things that you already have at home. New creations are made simply by recycling in order to recreate. My motto is, revamp, recycle, recreate to reinvent. Make your home decor original, make it special...make it yourself!
I invite you to unleash your creativity and try miycreations projects
and hope they will inspire you in wonderful ways!
"Enjoy" Maddylane
