Somehow that helps the white of the chalk be crisper and it dries with more contrast:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459211820940379244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-65975220821915661992015-10-07T11:47:50.520-04:002015-10-07T11:47:50.520-04:00Yes definitely treat yourself.
