okay... so i was on a organizing trip and trying to get my self (aka, my studio) together.
I realized that i didn't have a bulletin type board to keep reminding myself of the things i need to remind myself. This is not kosher, I repeated to myself.
I rarely head to the blogs on Threadbanger, but i decided to skim it a few weeks ago.
LO AND BEHOLD! a blog on bulletin boards!!!! and as i stated in my comment, i like them all, but why have them all separate? Make an amalgamation of all of them...
Inspiration struck (as it always does when i listen to Emilie Autumn)! and while it may not be ALL of them together, i tried.
forgive my smurfy camera!
Here it is without anything on it....

now... allow me to explain... There was this shelf board thing that a friend gave me that was extra, so i spray painted it with Chalkboard paint... that was step one....
Then i put up some wine cork coasters that someone bought me (why, i don't know, i don't drink) and they worked rather well for this project. That was step two.
I had some extra blue velvet type material and some extra stuffing, so i made them into another place to pin up stuff... but i didn't have any blue ribbon. so i found some blue suede cording and i made the crisscross thingies... that was step three and four.
Next, i took two old forks and bent them all hook shaped so i could hang stuff and have a place for business cards. that was step ten... ........................I was just seeing if you were paying attention... that was step five.
I put two screws and some hanging wire in the back to put it on the wall.. that was step six.
Then i realized that i needed some chalk and eraser... so gluing some fabric onto an old hard plastic lid to a broken case (i barely throw things away) and adding a strip of fabric to hang it was another step and drilling a hole in a piece of sidewalk chalk (WARNING: that's pretty smurfing messy) and putting a strip of fabric in that was another step... so that's what? Eight steps? Quicker than a 12 step... i'm getting better! ~LOL~
Now, to see it in action!
