Any suggestions as to where I could go?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978614720037486197.post-18513233032006643952015-09-06T15:56:08.303-07:002015-09-06T15:56:08.303-07:00I used a white craft paint for the calendar lines....I used a white craft paint for the calendar lines. If I had it to do it over again, I would just use my paint with primer interior paint (that I have on-hand for projects). The craft paint wasn't durable enough to withstand me wiping the chalkboard clean each month with a wet rag. So, I now sometimes trace over the calendar lines with chalk when I update the calendar monthly (since some of the craft paint has worn off). I hope this wasn't confusing. ;) Let me know if you have any other questions!!Little Farmsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272917232099620826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978614720037486197.post-32034994191114603362015-09-06T12:36:24.138-07:002015-09-06T12:36:24.138-07:00LOVE this idea.

You write that you "painted" over the lines. What paint did you use? And this didn't keep you from being able to then write on the chalkboard?? Thanks for any information or details you can give.

Now that my daughter has moved back home and my Dad lives with us, it has become useful again. One thing I did that I found helpful, is everyone has their own colour of ink. That way we know at a glance who has the dentist appt. etc. Very well done.<br />*Smiles*Lady Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123959598470549553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4978614720037486197.post-35847018903988493982015-01-04T18:01:34.652-08:002015-01-04T18:01:34.652-08:00That's such a great idea!
