Chalkboard Art Decor Project by miycreations


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

Spring is an exciting time of the year...the snow is finally melting, the birds are singing, people are out and smiling more...it truly is a renewal time of the year. Winter has been long enough; It’s now time to rejoice.

Its also time for Spring Cleaning , to renew your home, wardrobe and spirits. Clean those cobweb corners, let in fresh air, get organized, add colour and style… all to set a spirited welcoming tone to welcome the new season. Spring decorating does not have to be difficult or expensive, it can be achieved simply and with a smile.

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...it always amazes me the things one finds during spring cleaning, especially the recovery of lost items, I especially like to find money in the couch and in pockets of spring cloths... it pays to spring clean after all!!!!

Happy Spring Cleaning :)

Egg-tra ~ Egg-tra...Read all about it. Super Easy Egg-extravaganza


Super Easy Egg-extravaganza.....

In our home, every year we make a new style and type of Easter Eggs creation. We have an ongoing collection which is part of our tradition. These colourful cool eggs where made by my two boys (one is in university and the other in elementary
school.) I say this because one is never to old to make Easter Eggs. This is a super easy Easter project. My oldest son made graffiti designs and tags on his Easter eggs, even one with
for his girlfriend with her name on it. My youngest son made Easter buddies he calls them, one for each member of the family, and simple geometric shapes on other eggs..... Eggcellent ;)
To see how to make these and many more colourful Easter Creations visit www.miycreations.com

Miy Kids Spring Break Creations


Need a creative project to keep the children entertained during the school break! Creativity doesn't have to cost a lot of money, simply a little imagination.
Perhaps your child has a passion for cars, boats, motor cycles, army soldiers. Have them make a large floor base model for whatever they are into. It will keep them creative and once complete is sure to garentie hours of play and fun. Have a look at the step-by-step make-it-yourself video's.Since this model plan was done on an old frame, when not in use we
hang it up s art on the wall in his bedroom, now how cool is that!
They can then play in their little world of imagination for hours.
