I can’t believe the first week of August has ended already! Where has the summer gone? And even though this month brings with it the return to school…in our house it also brings plenty of birthday celebrations! So this year I decided to create something festive on my chalk mantle, which had been neglected lately due to all of our summer activities. Normally I would create a seasonal chalk drawing, something that I could leave up for at least a month or two! But while trying to decide what to put up there for the late summer, or even if I should paint over it, the idea came to mind of displaying a birthday message for all who celebrate! And bonus, the birthdays are all spread out so I can still leave it up for more than a few days! Why not make it a prolonged party? So if you have some celebrations that are within reach of one another…go ahead and extend the festivity!
