DIY Chalk Paint Tray With Transfer: MY Failure & Victory!

This post is way overdue. I have, actually, had this tray for almost two years. It has gone through quite a few changes, before I finally got back to business and settled on this as my final tray. And, I have to say I am truly enjoying it now!

One Beautiful Way To Organize Your Space

Good Morning! Welcome back! I'm so glad you found your way here.

Do you ever do something, for yourself, around your house, that you think nothing of, only to hear all your Friends & Family exclaim how much they love it and never would have thought of that? This is one of those kind a projects. I have a pet peeve. Well, truth be told, I have many, but I'm only telling you about one today!  I can NOT stand those big old plastic mugs (you know the ones) some company gave it to you free and it probably has their logo on it, and it's insulated and blah, blah, blah. That, inevitably, after finding no other use or it, becomes the pen and pencil holder!  I HATE them! I had one. If not that mug, then it's that tray or drawer, full of pens and everytime you go to grab one, the one you picked doesn't work anymore! Yep, that right there, will drive me over the brink!
