It's now a clean slate and ready for some friends and guests to leave their mark....To make your own blackboard, just buy some blackboard paint, pick a wall and paint about 3 layers of paint on... It's that easy. Paint is water based and works really well.
I also entered some produce and products at the local show this past weekend. I got first for carrot cake, zucchini, capsicum, roma tomatoes and plum jam, second for white bread, fancy bread (I made raisin toast) scrapbooking, set of cards and bottled mulberries in syrup.Some judges have silly rules. I got nothing for the best collection of herbs, because a couple of mine were in flower, and only second for mulberries when I was the only one in the category because the jar wasn't full. I don't make these things to sit on a shelf and look pretty, I make them to eat! And with the herbs, the one they pointed out was Borage of which I only eat the flower... arghh. Someone needs to write a guidebook for entering things at the show...
Enough of my rant. I also got three highly commendeds for photos I entered, and I am going to use all the photos I printed as gifts to people through the year.
