Sister’s Weekend

I was in Idaho over the 4th of July and since a good portion of us were there (all but one sister-in-law) we decided to hold the annual sister’s weekend.

We typically hold it in September but it’s kind of difficult with school starting and such.

I was excited this year because I could make something bigger because I wouldn’t have to ship it.

It’s a chalkboard countdown board thing.

I picked up some 5 1/2” primed MDF trim, cut it down to 3 ft, painted it with chalkboard paint and then used a paint pen for the writing.

We also made matching dresses for all the girl cousins when we got together.

  1. I wish I was your sister, and not just for the cute sister's weekend crafts. I think I might need to make something like that for Sarah - she's kind of obsessed with her calendar right now.

    Spencer is huge! And looks not unlike Caleb with that blond hair and those blue eyes. We should have them hang out.

    No one, literally no one, could rock a free paper tie-dye visor like you. And thanks for posting a pregnant picture. I wanted to see one but I can't ask since I don't do pictures...
