Cleanin’ Up with Silhouette Chalkboard Vinyl

Hey, LCMF readers. I am here. Doing a super quick project. (and you KNOW I’m only in for the quick projects lately)

You should SEE the state of my house lately. It’s been SO hard to keep up. Gratefully…my sweet Mom and amazing sister-in-law have come in this week to help out. And that’s beyond amazing.

But it’s hard when people come in and say “can I run errands?  What do you need?”  And I have to say…..”umm….not quite sure.  My house is a mess.”

You can tell that there’s been a valiant effort in the past to be organized.  But over the last little while, things have just been tossed in.  The fridge is similar.  And I don’t even have a pantry….so….

I asked my kids to hurry and help me take a quick inventory of what we have.  And what we might need.  And do a quick tidy-up.  And because they’re amazing….they did.

I’ve been itchin’ to use this Chalkboard Vinyl from Silhouette.  And I felt like it might be able to help me in this little sitch.

I started thinking that I wanted something in a frame.  But I didn’t have one here.  Then I realized….duh!  That’s what my WHITNEY….(the name of my Silhouette CAMEO™) is for!  She can make me a frame!

I made a center to go into this frame, so I’d have something to write on….follow me…..you’ll get it in a sec…

A little chalk on a chalkboard primes it and helps it perform at it’s best ability.  (that’s my little tip for you!)

Now, on the inside of our little supply closet, there’s a place to write items down when you use them.   That way there’s always a back-up.  I get so irritated when I have fuzzy legs, and no razors.  (what?  It happens.)

And I’m sorry, but that chalk box is kind of making me happy.  It’s just a jewelry box with some cute paper glued to the top.  I stuck it with some removeable wall mounts.  Easy peasy.

Now you can see that the closet is picked up, things are in their places, and I’m aware that I’m out of soap and blush.

And psssttt…..little secret…..I was out of a couple “female items” but I couldn’t bring myself to write that down and take a picture.  I mean, I’m real.  But some things are just not kosher.  Ya know?
