Guest Post – Chalkboard Art

A few weeks ago we announced that we would be starting a new series called “If I Had A Blog”.  For our first post in this series we are thrilled to have Kristi.  She is Brittany’s Sister In Law and a great family friend.  We knew we would be asking her to guest post because she is so talented and crafty.  Take it away Kristi.

Hello there! I am so excited to be guest posting today on Polka Dot Poplars. My name is Kristi and I am a stay-at-home mom of four beautiful children! I’m always looking for something crafty to do.
