Wit & Whistle Chalkboard Serving Platter DIY Project

Wit & Whistle completed yet another DIY project last month. I think her blog was getting so many hits- she went on a porcelain chalkboard painting frenzie. (I don't mind : ) She went with a chalkboard serving platter this time. I will leave it to her to tell you how she did it. Head over to her blog post here. I like these DIY projects so much because I hope to bring out the creativity in all of us. Especially when it comes to small gatherings/dinners/gifting. The most important thing to all of us is our loved ones. I think what you do to make them remember you the way you are right now is important. Tell them how much you adore them in as many ways as possible. We only get one chance to live this life. Make it a good one, and one for all of us to remember. The one that gives/makes/creates and smiles doing it. That is the way I see things..

Now carry on. Let's get our craft on!

Wit and Whistle Does It Again- Another DIY Mug!

DIY Christmas gifts are so fun! Amanda at Wit & Whistle posted this DIY Chalkboard Mug on Pinterest yesterday. I instantly fell in love. I want to make one! Such a great DIY project for Christmas! Just think writing "#1 Mom" or making two and writing "Besties". I could think of a million things to write to personalise it as a gift. Fill it with yummy goodies.. You could even write "Yummy Goodies" on it. This is just getting too clever. It is a much easier version of the hand painted mug she did that I blogged about in October- See that post here.

See the complete DIY Instruction and full post for this mug here.

Wit & Wistle DIY: Hand Painted Mug

Amanda at Wit & Whistle came up with this creative hand painted porcelain coffee mug. I love this idea, and love the design she went with. It would make a cute gift either full of coffee beans, cocoa, or cacao(organic, direct trade, shade grown-of course).

Supplies are two things: Cute mug, and Porcelain paint(links).

Check out her link here for the complete tutorial.
