Ticking Stripe Shower Curtain from Pottery Barn.

We’ve just returned home, fresh from our yearly camping trip and I have to say that this year’s trip was a pretty big success.If you follow me on Facebook, then you may remember a month ago when I shared that I don’t always feel like the seasoned pro that I should be by now when it comes to camping.

I decided to fix that this year and so I started out by making a list.A list for the ages!Just a basic list that I could use year after year for all of the “stuff” that we need to remember to pack.

Up until now, I’ve usually just set out a few bins and thrown stuff in there as I think of it over the course of a few weeks.I scoured the web and looked at everyone else’s lists that I could find to help trigger my memory for things that I wanted to bring.

It was actually super helpful to see what everyone else liked to take along, so I thought it might be nice to share my list with you.

I took it one step further though and made it a bit cuter and made it printable as well.I always hear people say that you need to put a crazy amount like 8 coats on when you do chalkboards, or that you need to let it sit for 24 hours before you touch it, but I’ve only ever done 2 coats and have always just barely let it dry, even on glass, and my chalkboards always turn out perfectly.

So if you want to take the impatient route like I do, I say go ahead!.Next, I “seasoned” them by rubbing some chalk all over them and then wiping it off.. Time to see how they look!

I used some thumb tacks to attach them to the fronts of the baskets.I just pressed them right in and they held on beautifully.
