Chalkboard Charger

I have always wanted a chalkboard that have been around on the Internet for several years. 

 I didn't have a tray that I wanted to use.  

One day, I was in Salvation Army Thrift store and found this charger for  $2.  

Can't beat that price!  (Unless it was free!)

It apparently had started life as a stainless steel plate charger.  

It was love at first sight because I just love the stars around the edge!

Out came the spray paint and a transformation!

 

 I think it turned out really cute.

I think it needs a wider ribbon but I didn't have any.

That's on my "pick up next time in town" list! 

I am not sure where it will end up hanging in my house.

For right now, it's here.  

It will travel to many rooms before it settles in one spot!

 

Thanks for dropping by!!

 

Magnets

I made a few magnets for Christmas presents this year. I plan on giving them to the boys' teachers and a few of my co-workers. I will most likely include a few clothespin magnets and a notepad or 2. I haven't thought that far ahead.

PS,

Nancy asked me how I made these magnets so I thought I would include the instructions. You take the flat back clear marbles found in the floral section at the craft store. I usually get a bag at the Dollar Tree or Big Lots. Cut a circle from the paper of your choice to fit, or a little bigger. Mod podge it on to the flat back of the marble. Let it dry and trim the paper if needed. Glue on the magnet and there you have it! Very easy to do!
