You Can Quote Me – Back to School Bubble

ByShannah Published: Updated:

With H going back to school, we wanted a way to capture some of her favorite things so we could see how her tastes evolve as she gets older.

I bought these cool mdf quote boards from an Etsy seller and painted them in black chalkboard paint

Then, I used painters tape to section off where I wanted to draw lines. 

I used my chalk ink markers to trace lines against the painters tape.  Then, I wrote in my “categories” based on what H wanted to talk about. My bubble isn’t very big so I just wanted to capture her basic likes so I included: food, color, song and movie.

From there, I just got H to give me the answers to the questions and I filled it in.  I was a little surprised by 2 of her answers but it is her bubble so we went with it.  Once the answers were all filled in, we headed outside for a photo shoot. 

Wow, MDF must be a lot heavier once you add chalkboard paint.

We’ll do another photo session on the actual first day of school.  Who knows…her answers might change by then.  She is 5 after all.

  32. This is such a sweet idea. My oldest starts Kindergarten on Wednesday, and I’d love to do something like this for him.
    I would love to have you add this to a collective link party I co-host, Eat Make Grow: http://www.hideousdreadfulstinky.com/2012/08/eat-make-grow-thursday-5.html

  36. This is so darling. I wish I had pics like these for my two–but one is now a freshman in college, and one a college graduate. Hmmm, maybe I could get them to do it anyway? lol
