Chalk Paint!

So I'm thinking very soon I will be experimenting with chalk paint....so exciting.  I just need to come up with a color and buy some soft wax and a brush and I think I will be all set to paint my kitchen island!  I was going to buy the chalk paint until I read this blog and am so excited for the cheaper option.    http://www.lisaroy.ca/2011/12/homemade-chalk-paint-console-makeover.html

I will keep you all posted on my progress...I know I've been bad at posting and I will try to do better but you know how January goes- taxes, organizing life and what not.  I am also trying to work,  to find a new job and loss weight...way, way to much on my plate but I will get back to my passion soon enough and start some projects, yay!
Happy Blogging!
