Halloween is just around the corner, it crept up on me very fast this year.
We all know the love of chalkboard paint around here is huge (yes I’m speaking for all you ladies). So get your paint cans ready…
I found some scrap sheet metal laying around, trimmed it down to size then spray painted with chalkboard paint. I was worried about my lines not being perfect or some what perfect so I used a ruler and a black sharpie to make lines on the board. The lines turned out well and you hardly notice them.
| Haunted House There’s a house upon the hilltop We will not go inside For that is where the witches live, Where the ghosts and goblins hide Tonight they have their party All the lights are burning bright, But oh we will not go inside The haunted house tonight The demons there are whirling And the spirits swirl about. They sing their song to Halloween. “Come join the fun” they shout. But we do not want to go there So we run with all our might And oh we will not go inside The haunted house tonight. -Jack Prelutsky |
I’m happy with everything that came together even though I wasn’t going for the black and white theme. The night of our Halloween party I’ll use the buffet as a bar…that way our guests can read the poem as their waiting for drinks.
Enjoy your weekend!

Fantastic! How did you write so darn neat! I have the hardest time with that. Thanks for joining me...this was a great project.
Oh I think you did a great job!! I've always wanted a chalk board of sorts...I think your poem version is a fabulous idea. Thanks for sharing.
I love this poem -- too cute! That's a great idea to use a sharpie to create lines, by the way!
Great little poem, love the simplicity of your design scheme there:)
Debbie, writing on the chalkboard was difficult. I just took my time...adding the lines really helped.
I love it! What a cute poem and great idea! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity in the DIY Fall Festival! ;)
Happy Halloween!
