Chalkboard Decal

I have been wanting a chalkboard in the kitchen area for some time. I'm sad to say that I lose track of food all the time, and have wanted a place where I could make *food notes* to myself and my family. Something like "Tuna salad with celery and olives" would be code for "celery is on it's way out and you better sneak those home-brined olives into some dish if you want anyone to actually eat them".

What I originally envisioned was a rectangular chalkboard with either a distressed frame made of reclaimed barn panels (a girl can dream!) or some totally over-the-top Rococoesque frame to off-set the *agrarian chic* look I strive for around our dining area. But then I discovered Wall Candy Art's chalkboard decals and this beauty seemed to do the job for a lot less hassle and money.

I just set it up and my first post is our Thanksgiving 2011 menu. I will be looking at it all week while working on my om's and breathing exercises. I like that the kids have it as a sweet reminder of our holiday to come.

This day last year: "Persimmon Pops on a HOT November Day!"

This is great! I'll be practicing my oms and breathing exercises too, but I'll be in my my mother-in-law's kitchen which doesn't have a pretty chalkboard decal for me to meditate on while doing so. Ha!

Have a great weekend.

You could always give your MIL a "hostess gift" of a chalk decal! ;)
