Chalk Paint Trial, Instructions

I have always wanted to try chalk paint. I have heard alot about it online and on different social media sites. I struck up a friendship on facebook with Donna at Shabby Daze. http://www.facebook.com/shabbydazenj . She is a furniture painter and a distributor for Cece Caldwell Chalk Paint. She also is located in New Jersey. She took the time to come to my warehouse with some chalk paint and gave me instructions on how to use it. She has alot of helpful hints. Below are pictures of my trial. Since I am a novice at this, if you have any questions, please contact Donna on her facebook page. She also sells Cece Caldwell Chalk Paint.
