St Patricks Day Chalkboard Art

St Patricks Day Chalkboard   Joe and I redid this old window into a chalkboard when I still had the salon to write specials and things on. I knew when I closed that it was definitely one of the items I had to keep for our house!  I love changing it out for different seasons/birthdays.  I shared some of the inspiration pictures I found incase you have a chalkboard or something you change out for the seasons as well! Hope you enjoy๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š.
