Fooey! Were you able to pour most of it back into the can? My husband always suggests I keep my paint bucket sitting in a pan for this very reason. Works especially well for smaller paint cans like this one.
Oh dear. I hope you were able to salvage some of that! Been there and done that, not with chalk paint, but spilled paint is always a heart stopping experience!
That's heart-stoppingly awful ! I've done that too .... I think we all have . Not that that makes it any better . Breathe deeply and think nice thoughts .... as you scoop .
I had to laugh. Definitely not at your misfortune - I'm sorry about your spill! But rather at the fact that your instinct was to take a picture. I would have done the same thing. Hope you were able to salvage some!
I did the same thing with chalk paint! TWICE!! actually three times, but one of those times it wasn't only a 1/4 can! clearly I should not be allowed to hold a paint can- esp a full paint can- after painting in the sun all day without eating or drinking anything other than route 44 sonic teas (yes plural). all times i dropped the can it was late, i was tired and gratefully was able to scoop most of it back up. I'm not all that graceful anyway...
Ohhh...I feel your pain! At the price of the paint, that's like $$ down the drain. I hope you were able to scoop some of it up to use.

Hello everyone!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the sweet comments about my mental health after this disaster.
All is well....I was able to scoop up 99% of my Old White chalk paint and the remaining 1% I sopped up with a piece of toast and ate it for breakfast.
That's right...I'm not wasting ANY of this stuff!
