Off to my favorite store ~ HOBBY LOBBY! I purchased some chalkboard paint and then I started looking for colored chalk. Much to my surprise...they now have chalk markers!!

Oh boy am I going to have fun with these.
Time for the fun to begin. I applied 3 coats of Krylon chalkboard spray paint to every other pane. Remember to let dry in between coats. I let dry about 1 hour to assure a good cure.
I measured my wall and anchored it to the wall in each corner ( this thing is a beast) I then started with some creativity for each pane. Since its spring and Easter is just around the corner, that was my theme.
Lori and Toni were visiting and didn't realize they were actually going to be helping, at least with the hanging! As I said it was a heavy beast. Lori was the first to draw and chose to draw a bunny......hmmmmm really, a purple bunny. :) I did erase the bunny tail and made it a fluffy white one for her. I also have to give her credit, she drew this without looking at a picture as I did!
I then glued some scrabble tiles on , made a couple wreaths out of artificial grass I had laying around added a bird, chicks, butterfly and this project is complete.

I'm looking forward to decorating each season and holiday!
