Chalk Ink Markers Review The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen Book talks about using chalkboards throughout your home, which reminded me of my secret chalkboard markers! Oh my, I love these liquid chalk markers! I discovered them at Starbucks one day…
I asked the gal behind the counter what they used to make their chalkboards so charming, vibrant and colorful….she pulled out one of these markers to show me….I could not wait to get me some! I found them on Amazon and since then I’ve had so much fun creating all kinds of messages to bless my home and family! I have chalkboards all over my house. I love to write fun quotes, scriptures, the menu for an event, love notes, welcome home and Holiday greetings. They wipe clean with water, or Windex. If the color is extra thick, you can sprinkle a little of Barkeepers Friend sink polish, and scrub the chalk off. You can blend the colors while they are wet and write on anything that is non-porous, such as plastic containers, mirrors, windows, and metal. They come in a variety of colors. The Earthy Set of 8 Chalk Ink Markers includes these colors: Grape Jelly, Granny Bird Blue, Popcorn, Cayenne, Parker’s Dreamsicle, Teddy Bear, Green Tea, Spanish Tile.
The Classic set of 4 Chalk Ink Markers includes these colors: Chalk White, Clown Nose Red, Pacific Blue, and Smiley Face Yellow. Chalk Ink Markers are clear and bright and really make your chalkboard message something special, beautiful and fun. It’s the little things that we can do that make our house a home…a chalkboard with a message of love is one of those things!
Chalk Board Paint
Gals, this is the chalkboard paint I use! It’s called Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint It is so easy to apply onto an old cupboard door, or a vintage drawer to create an adorable surface to write loving messages to your family. As shown in the Farm Chicks book, Serena and Teri made farm-style chalkboards out of white enamel-ware pans! How cute is that!! I use a sponge brush to paint it on. You will want to give it two coats. It dries fast and the clean up is a breeze! This is such a darling home project, a fun and easy gift for a friend, and a great craft to sell!
Congratulations Miss Amy from Picket Fence Cottage, you have won the Sugar Pie Sisterhood giveaway! When your package of goodies arrive, I hope you put your sassy little Mary Janes’s Farm apron on and stir up something sweet to eat! Many blessings to you my Sugar Pie Sista!
I want to send out a big THANK YOU to all of you gals (my new sista’s!) for signing up for the Sugar Pie Sisterhood! I hope y’all liked the newsletter I sent a few days ago! And I also want to thank all of you for the absolutely fabulous, heartwarming, encouraging and sparkling comments you left for me! WOW! What a way to make a girl feel special! I am so glad y’all like the new look! (I’m so proud of my boy!)Please keep in mind that this is just the beginning of more to come! A couple of gals mentioned that they wanted to see photos of my home…I’m happy to say, it’s in the works! Along with more recipes, videos, product recommendations and a few more surprises up my sleeve! Please know that it’s just little ol’ me working on Sugar Pie Farmhouse (with some help from Dusty after he’s worked hard all day at his job) so it is going to take a little time for me to add all of the fun stuff that I am envisioning.
You know, my mission is to encourage homemakers of all ages to turn their hearts back home and create a warm and cozy nest for their loved ones, so I have to make double sure that I keep my own home and family as my priority. I am a homemaker, just like you, with a lot of responsiblilities like doing the laundry, cooking, taking care of my home, grocery shopping, Doctor’s appointments, school events, church activities, spending time with my hubby and kids, maintaining friendships, getting some walking in, and of course spending time with the Lord and reading my Bible (and lots of other stuff!). In our home, we have decided that after dinner is family time, so I don’t get back on the computer until the next day. I know y’all understand! The good news is that slowly but surely, as the weeks go by, you will see more and more new ideas to help you make your house a Home Sweet Home! Thank you for being patient!
Talk About Sweet!
Isn’t it wonderful that fresh strawberries are now gracing the produce section of the grocery store? Oh happy day!
I want to share with you one of my favorite dips that goes lusciously with these juicy red berries!
There are only two ingredients!! One jar of Marshmallow Creme and one 12 oz. tub of regular Cream Cheese.
I use my mini Cuisinart Chopper (See it on Amazon!) to whip it together. Because it is so thick, you need to pulse it a few times then open the lid to stir it with a spoon, repeat a few times until creamy. You could also use an electric mixer to whip the two ingredients together.
This is so simple yet the flavor is so delicious!
Fresh washed strawberries and this easy fruit dip is a wonderful treat the whole family will love! This would be an easy and yummy addition to your Easter Celebration! Enjoy!
This Easter as you savor the chocolate bunnies and the Easter egg hunts with baskets full of jelly bean-giggles, be sure to savor hope, mercy, grace and love. That’s what the Cross brings to all of us. Jesus left the glory of Heaven to come to this earth to take the punishment for sins He did not commit so that we could be with Him for eternity. He could not bear the thought of living forever without us so He died for our sins…that is how much He loves us. The Bible says that the payment for sin is death….. He took our place. Such love…such wonderous love!
This twig cross was made by my daughter Ashley about 15 years ago, I bring it out every year to remind us of the true meaning of Easter. Notice that Jesus is no longer hanging on the cross…because the wonderful news is He rose from the dead and is now preparing a place for us far beyond anything we could ever imagine!
“There are many rooms in my Father’s house; I would not tell you this if it were not true.”
– John 14:2
“It is finished!” He cried. And the great Creator went home. (He’s not resting though. Word has it that His tireless hands are preparing a city so glorious even the angels get goose bumps upon seeing it. Considering what He has done so far, that is one creation I plan to see.)” ~Max Lucado
