DIY Chalkboard Picture Frame

Looking for a unique and homemade Valentine's Day gift?

How about a chalkboard picture frame? Now you can leave love notes for your sweetie all year long!

First you'll need a cute assistant and a wooden picture frame. We picked this one up at Michael's for just $1. I like that it has a large area to write your message!

You'll also need a can of chalkboard spray paint (available at Michael's)

Now get spraying! I applied three coats (allow for drying in between coats)

A few rhinestone added for a sparkling finish touch and that's it!

Quick, easy & your Valentine is sure to love it!

These would also make amazing wedding favors. Attach a piece of chalk with coordinating ribbon and you've got a one-a-kind favor for your guests.

Donut Hole Bags

Wouldn't these donut hole bags be a fabulous addition to the ice cream sundae buffet? The nostalgia feel and colors just scream fun! The bags were featured in the Spring 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings (from the wedding of Hello! Lucky's creative director). Their wedding was full of amazing inspirations. And they've shared some incredible DIY free templates including the donut hole template!

Shepherdess bride

Shepherdess bride marries in stunning dress made of wool from her own flock!



I so love how she incorporated her 2nd love of her prized sheep into her wedding! The dress, which cost £1,500, took a spinner and dressmaker 67 hours to make. But it was worth it, as her husband said he was 'blown away' when she walked down the aisle.
