Advent%20Chalk%20Board_thumb%5B7%5D.jpg?imgmax=800

This is a mismatch of lots of bits and pieces I have collected in the past few months

The main part is a mini Gisela Graham chalkboard I bought (several) of from e-bay

The snowman was part of a garland I got in a garden centre sale and took apart

The stars are large table confetti i think I got from Birthdays

And the ribbon is from east of India.

Handwriting is my own, chalk 25p WHSmith, attached to string.

I have lots of other ideas on my blog which everyone is welcome to use.

  • I used a POSCA pen to write on my board, if that's any help.

  • A POSCA pen is a brand of pen that you can write clearly on black - ie blackboards, papers etc - it is permanent - available in thick and medium tip.

    I got a bag of 10 - red and white - from a carboot a while back for £2 unused.

    The usually sell for about £2.99 eack
