A Chalkboard Dresser and a Rosary

I've had this dresser on my "to-do" list for forever!

I finally got to it yesterday!

I painted an old dresser

(that my parents had given me) in chalkboard paint,

and painted the knobs like little mushrooms.

I think that it turned out great!

The kids have already had so much fun coloring on it!

The little mushroom knobs are magical:)

Here is the step in which you cover

the whole chalkboard surface in chalk.

My 4-year-old daughter had fun with this part!

Finished!

I also made this rosary yesterday.

It is going to be a gift.

Now, back to making more ornaments!

Making a Rosary

Recently, there was a question on making Rosaries in a yahoo beading group that I belong to. The question reminded me of this one that I made for my Nona's 70th birthday present:

I found really great instructions on making a rosary here. They also have some pretty rosary components/supplies that you can buy.
