That sign, I am proud to say, I found at a thrift store for $3. Originally it had "little champ" (or something like that) painted on it. I just taped the edges, sprayed some chalkboard paint in the center, and attached a big, fat grosgrain ribbon to hang it. It is made of metal so it is perfect for writing with chalk. It hangs in my kitchen and I just love scribbling little notes on it, like this one, written a few weeks ago when we were heading out to the county parade.
Thrift store finds are the best! Hopefully I will have many more to share with you in the days to come. OK, have a good weekend everyone!

That is a terrific idea. I'll have to share that one with my daughter. Thanks
Good to know! I can never find any of these great items at thrift stores though:(
I'm glad you enjoyed the Sloppy Joes. We have them a lot at our house. it's great recipe to make the night before and then put in the crock pot the next day i often do this so we can have them Sunday after church.
Have a nice weekend!

I like that a lot! I'll have to keep my eyes open for something I can transform like that. :)

I love that chalkboard. I was thinking of putting chalkboard paint on my side door to go into the garage...my hubby thinks I am crazy but it may be fun. I agree with Christy...I never find good things at thrift shops but it is fun to see what you get!
