Upcycled is the new recycled?

Ok, so let's be honest for just a second, shall we?  I LOVE to buy things.  And I REALLY LOVE to buy things when they are cheap!  Here's the honest part:  I still love to buy cheap things, even if I have no use for them.  Well, ladies and more ladies, I have great news!  I found a purpose for these great old windows that I can't seem to stop buying!  We have a wonderful store in town that has tons of old used windows, so here has been my latest project:  upcycled window chalkboards!
Start with a window.

Bust out glass.  (this is fun, but you MUST be careful!) 
Find a chunk of board that fits behind your window,
and paint it with chalkboard paint!
ENJOY!  Add sayings, quotes, or funny but true to do lists!
I hope you enjoyed seeing what you can do with old stuff that you just HAD to have, and if you'd like one for your very own, check out my etsy shop!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/montanawife406
