This weekend's theme:

~ chalkboards ~
Totally genius... I want!

By Wisteria


Adorable chalkboard bunting allows you to change out your messages. The link comes with a wonderful tutorial. Isn't this the smartest thing? 



Way perfect way to organize tasks for the kidlets.



This placement is so quirky and perfect! Love it!



Black butcher paper and chalk mimics the real deal. Isn't this stunning?



Like the look of chalkboards but don't like the mess? Here's a fake one I made for my once upon a time blog office back in 2010.






Here's my own collection of chalkboards on Pinterest.

Got a chalkboard project to share? 
Link up in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

    Hey Donna, what's the difference between a chalkboard and a blackboard? I call mine blackboards... is that wrong or politically incorrect?
    Love your blog!

    Hi Donna,
    Thanks once again for hosting. I haven't done a lot of chalkboard projects so this was great incentive to get out some chalkboard paint and try something. I've posted one small project and have a couple of more I'll be posting later.
    Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

    Donna your office sign is cute and I love the banner, cute idea. My grandfather taught school back in the early 30's. He used to keep his chalkboards spotless so when he had his back turned to the students he could see who was talking. He would throw an eraser at who it was and all the kids would tell the others he had eyes in the back of his head.Funny huh. Those were the days. I have an antique frame I painted white and put a board in it and painted it with chalkboard paint. I am going to make a banner like that, I really like that. Hope you and your son have a good weekend.
