Psst! I'm guest-posting over at Frog, Goose and Bear today!

Hello my fabulous friends. We've survived Joshie's 2nd birthday party in a week (just!) - a quick post will follow, just to show that this time, his cake was a marked improvement on last week's effort ☺.
But for now, just the quickest post to let you know that today, I'm guest-posting over at my lovely friend Emma's little haven in Blogland - Frog, Goose and Bear. I've been following Emma's blog for ages and love her warmth, honesty, inspiration and the fun she has with her three littlies. She's a crafty girl who throws the most amazing birthday parties you've ever seen - click here to have a peek at them! You'll leave inspired - I promise you ☺.

Click over here to see my tutorial on how to make a pretty erasable whiteboard  - perfect for an inexpensive and handmade Christmas gift. Is that ticking a lot of your boxes?! I thought it might. 

And yes, you saw another version of this goodie over here last month. I've since made it a few times. Here's another one on our kitchen bench which Joshie dictated and can now read himself (proud mother moment!) every day, to remind him how to organise himself.
And here's another I sent as a present recently. Mmm, I think I may have to make myself one with this paper!
The sky's the limit when it comes to designs and colours - treat yourself and have a go at making one. Oh and do come back and share your results with us - pretty please!

  4. Off to read your guest post - I've wanted to chalkboard for our kitchen for a while now but the chalk 'mess' has put me off so I think this might be the solution for me :)

    I have it filled up now with my crafty jobs and Lyndon added one last job to it, "make lyndon happy". Cheeky.

  15. So glad you enjoyed this post, ladies and thanks for the invitation, Emma. I plan to make a few for Christmas.

    @Jennie/Posie The 'liquid chalk' is a 1.2 mm 'white Uni paint marker'. Go here (http://www.cavalierart.com.au/catalog/markers/paint/paint-markers-uni) for a look. Cheap and brilliant to use!

  18. Hi Jane, it is gorgeous. I have the same list but with a bit more detail (inc, brush teeth, put on sunscreen, make lunch etc) but mine's printed on a piece of A4 and stuck on the wall! Thanks for inspiring me to try harder. Presentation is important!
