From thrift store painting to menu board

When I bought this painting at the thrift store, I actually intended for it to be a sign for my porch. But then when I was spring cleaning my kitchen, I decided it would make a great menu board.. I had primed the entire thing off white when it was meant as a sign, but that just made it easier to make it a chalkboard. I used raft paint on the frame, a deep dark red. When I sprayed on the chalkboard paint some of the overspray got on the frame - I rubbed it on and added a bit more black craft paint giving it that sort of crafty antiqued look.

I'm really surprised by how much my family loves this. They all really like knowing what is for dinner each night. Especially my husband!

How to Solve The Geocaching August Souvenir Puzzle #1

In August 2016, Geocaching is doing a series of souvenirs based on "missions" premium members receive as puzzles the week before the mission. Non premium members just receive the answer the weekend of the mission. The first puzzle was VERY simple, so simple that many were overthinking it. The bottom of the first plate gives you the hint to solve this - "A six is G" A= 6 letters after A = ABCDEF G C= 2 letters after C = CD E N= 1 letter after N = N O Continuing with the next 3 plates until you have the code to type into the page linked in the email, where the mission was revealed. The answer had to be entered completely in lower case, I think that may have been more confusing than the actual puzzle. :-) On the 3rd plate, for W6 - you go back to the start of the alphabet. So it was WXYZAB C If you completed the mission, finding a cache with more than 10 favorite points that week-end, you received this souvenir: For us, this meant traveling a bit, since we've ...

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts. For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or (). I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here. If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos. MF I Love Glitter Smell The Roses Shorelines Stea klcupid Daddy's Girl Beauty & The Beast Ribbons & Banners LillyBelle ...

Dr Doolittle's Roadside Cafe & Creamery

The "Lower" Restaurant. There's a second restaurant up the hill, right next to this. I originally saw this place on one of the many roadside PA facebook groups I follow. I thought it would be a fun place to stop for lunch on our way to the ASPGB 2017 - and I was not disappointed. There's normally an amish buggy here, being pulled by either the dinosaur or Sasquatch - but it was missing when we were here. I've seen photos of an alpaca and goats here.. near this barn area. We didn't see them when we stopped, they might have all been inside? There's a lot of road noise if you eat outside, but we sat right at the front of the outdoor seating, not realizing that there was more outside seating behind the walk up counter. Just go back past the party barn, and you can sit between the train cars below, and the back of the lower restaurant. There are train cars everywhere you turn... I really wanted to play mini golf - but we didn't have time, and I'm...
