First thanks so much for all of the many comments you guys left last week during milk paint madness! I appreciated every single one and I wish you could all be winners.
But, I only had six prizes to give away.
I say only, but seriously, how incredible were my sponsors in giving me so much fabulous product to give away to you guys?! I’d like to once again say thank you to Homestead House, Miss Mustard Seed, The Real Milk Paint Co and Sweet Pickins. They made this all possible.
I used a random number generator to choose a winner from among the comments left on each day’s blog. Yesterday I notified each winner by email, so if you didn’t get an email, I’m sorry to say that you didn’t win.
But here are the people that did win!
Jeanne R. won the milk paint basics prize.
Constance C. won the milk paint topcoats prize.
Sharon V. won the milk paint chalkboards prize.
Paula G. won the milk paint advanced techniques prize.
Paris B. won the milk paint magic prize.
And Laura W. won the bonus Sweet Pickins prize.
I hope I inspired a few of you to get out the milk paint and start painting something!
q is for quandie 
Even though I didn’t receive a winning email, I still feel blessed to have received so much wonderful advice and details. I love your blog. Thanks for being so willing to share!

Hello! Thanks for your terrific blog! I’ve been enjoying it for years now!! I write today with maybe an odd question. A friend is throwing a surprise 60th birthday for her hubby, and has asked me to “help” her create one of the popular chalk boards detailing fun tidbits of what was going on the year he was born.
I found a few sites where she could order one for less than $20, but yesterday she showed up at my door with a huge box that a cork board shipped in, and thought it would be perfect for us to use for the chalkboard. Sigh. So, my question is if you have any suggestions for prepping my cardboard canvas for this project? Spray
Paint vs. brush on? I would appreciate any tips! Can’t say no in Colorado! Vicki B

LOL. I love your ‘Dear Abby’ style sign off. Well, I wish I could be more help, but I’ve never actually tried turning cardboard into a chalkboard. However, I will say that I probably wouldn’t try milk paint for that. The milk paint is going to be too thin/watery and will soak into that cardboard. You might be able to get away with using the traditional Rustoleum chalkboard paint and just brushing it on. I think you’re just going to have to experiment. But, I do have to say, if you don’t already have some chalkboard paint on hand you’re going to pay $10 – $15 just for the paint so it seems like you’d be better off just ordering that $20 chalkboard! Of, if you have some appropriate milk paint colors, just buy a sheet of the hardboard for around $5 and turn it into a chalkboard with your milk paint.

Thanks so much! Yes, I would shell out the $20, but apparently she could not find one that included all the desired factoids. I will experiment and give you an update on what works best. Not looking forward to this!! Thanks again! VB

Congrats to all the winners! All the posts about painting inspired me to buy more Fusion Mineral Paint and try to finish my table/counter stools project that’s been hanging around since before Christmas! Slow going since the weather has been cold, rainy and humid. Can’t paint out in the garage and the husband hates when I paint inside even though there is no real problem with Fusion smells except in his mind.

Yep, the beauty of Fusion paint is that it has zero VOC’s. Perfectly safe to use indoors. Although convincing your hubby of that is another matter 😉
