I love this DIY chalkboard tablecloth from A Thoughtful Place! I like easy ideas like this that are not only unique but are also a conversation starter or memory maker. They serve a purpose beyond CUTE. Love that.
This would be such a nifty idea to use for celebrating someone’s birthday (have it on the table with birthday messages) or to honor any special person or day. Leave a love note for your sweetie. You could use it to share family activities or plans at the breakfast table, a memory verse for the week, an inspirational quote, a menu, or keep kids busy when they say they are bored (as my son says at least five times a day). Or, use them as a fun party activity! It would definitely create memories!
See the details for how to make this yourself at A Thoughtful Place!
PS. Check out this chalkboard fabric, too!
what fun! We will have to go check out her wonderful site and find more inspirations!!

I can’t believe…I just went out and bought a can of chalkboard paint to do the wall behind my desk. I never, ever thought of doing something like this. So clever.

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, come sit by me” LOL! Love it!

What a great gift idea. I love anything you can smack some quotes on in an instant.
super cute idea!!
we used to have this restraunt called “scribbles” they had white paper table covers, and baskets of crayons.
My kids loved it, so did the adults.

I am always in awe of all the creative ideas out there. I could sit at my computer all day and show you nifty stuff. But then of course, I would have no life outside of my computer. How sad indeed that would be. So, I can only bring a smattering of what I see to my blog…now it is time to LIVE and not just VIEW great ideas….so off I go…
Much love to you all today, you all make me smile!

I saw this on Dianne’s blog, too. Dianne has wonderful ideas. I recommend her blog to anyone that hasn’t been lucky enough to visit yet.
How cute is this! I am a big one for leaving notes everywhere–lunchboxes, drawers, under pillows…
I love that!

Cute!!! I especially love the message in the first photo. -giggles-
And I think the second one is pretty cute and ‘cheeky’ too. Think that’s a quote of Alice Roosevelt…
Looked it up. Yup… “If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.” –Alice Roosevelt Longworth [b. Feb. 12, 1884]

That is really cute. Wonder how it would actually work if used as a tablemat?
