This is so much fun! I love the chalkboard. I’ll be linking.
A friend of mine was wanting to make a cork wreath, but now that I’ve seen yours, I’ll have to pass along the idea of painting some, as that makes all the difference!
What size wooden discs (diameter) did you use for the wine charms?
They were 1″ disks. Have fun!
