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 Use New Fonts In Phonto On Android

There are lots of apps to add fonts to android devices, but I really didn't want to add fonts to my android system. I have a zillion fonts on my phone already. What I wanted was to be able to use fonts like I love Glitter in Phonto. Cliff Notes - Just add them to the fonts folder in the Phonto App. Phonto has a "how to" for installing fonts on android, but it did not work for me. This is what worked: My fonts are all backed up in dropbox. That makes this simple - but you could also send the font to your phone through email, and save to your downloads folder. I just opened dropbox, went to the font, clicked on it, chose export/save to device, and saved to my downloads folder. Then I went to my downloads folder (Use "My Files" - in your app drawer. ) LONG click on the font. If you just open it, you may get a message saying you do not have an app to pen this file. You want to select the font, which you do by holding down on ...

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.

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...
