For the love of chalkboard!

I've loved chalkboard since the time I was a kid, not so much the ones at school but definitely the plaything we had at home. I remember the excitement when my folks got my sister and me a blackboard that came with an easel and a boxful of coloured chalk, we spent many afternoons fighting over it and my poor sister always got bullied into playing the student. I guess we were from that generation where role-playing games were far more popular than the hi-tech games that today's kids have at their disposal.

I'm almost halfway down my 30's now and still haven't lost that love for chalkboard, except these days I'm role-playing a super efficient chef who uses the board to display her daily menu...

I am definitely not alone in my love for chalkboard coz I see so many amazing ideas out there. 

Here are some fun ones that I found...

Message on a bottle - chalkboard paint on bottles

Chalkboard labels...slap them on to anything and scribble away!

Sign boards, tags and chalkboard sticks

More tags, wine charms and a chalkboard painted pan

Entry board, trays and little message boards

Chalkboard goes anywhere...even on cups, frames and notebooks!

Maybe it's a good thing that I don't have easy access to chalkboard paint out here coz I'd have gone nuts painting everything black!
