Welcome!

I'm Gran'mare and those two fabulous faces above are my grand-daughters.."The Girls"...Beanz & Bou and these pages are all about our days together. You see, I am privileged enough to spend more time than the average G'mom with "The Girls" (2 in '08).

We have a funtabulous time together and hope you enjoy visiting us. Hopefully along the way you'll laugh a little, cry a little and learn a few things from a well seasoned G'mom & mother of 3.

I had hoped to start this shortly after their arrival mostly as a journal for myself but............
I will backtrack (as memory allows) to the beginning when Aunt Tissa & I hovered over Mama Baby and together we heard their heartbeats for the very first time...talk about slap happy!

Cooler than Classroom Chalk

Colored Chalk

Prep Time: 15

Materials :

Directions:
1. Seal one end of cardboard tube with foil.

2. Mix water and food color in a medium bowl or disposable plastic container. Add to plaster of Paris to make a "pudding" consistency.
Stir until the mixture starts to thicken. Work fast!

3. Stand your cardboard tubes on end (on wax paper or foil.) Pour the mixture into the tube.

4. When firm, peel off the cardboard. Any cardboard left on chalk can be rubbed off with gloved finger or scraped off with knife blade.

5. Dry overnight. Go out to your sidewalk or driveway, and start drawing!

DO NOT EAT.

Test Kitchen Tips:

  • Plaster of Paris may be found in Arts & Crafts supply stores.
  • Make one tube of chalk at a time and store in an airtight container.
  • Use a full squeeze bottle of food color for each tube of chalk for vibrant, lasting color.
  • Wear latex gloves and protective clothing to avoid staining.
  • Don't put excess down the drain! It will clog pipes.
