Hiya All!  Happy Tuesday!!    Thanks so much for dropping by today!  O Where did this summer go???
It's back to school time already, and my baby is growing up too fast!!!  Friday Skyler will start her first day of Kindergarten.  I am Having very mixed emotions about all this, but she is very excited!!  
So hard letting them grow up... So in celebration of Back 2 School, Graphic 45 is featuring ABC Primer Projects from myself and the wonderful Laura Denison.  Make sure to stop by G45 and leave your comments for the giveaway and check out Laura's awesome piece..  So onto the inspiration..

This first project is something I created using an old hand chalboard from an antique store.

Ohmygosh! both of these are super cute - but that little chalkboard is my favorite. I was just thinking how wonderful it would be on the headboard of the bed, each child's name and little messages! So cute!!
