Monday Madness at Midnight – America the Beautiful Chalkboard Print

Seriously it is 11:30 at night and I am just barely finding the time to write the Monday Madness…gosh darn even if it kills me I am going to have this post live before it is Tuesday!

This weeks deal is another one of our popular Chalkboard Plaques.  We CAN NOT keep this baby in stock at the store, hopefully our online shoppers will love it just as much.

 Introducing the America the Beautiful Chalkboard Plaque




As with any of our Chalkboard Plaques you can buy the entire kit (plaque, print and step-by-step instructions) or just the print…or if you have another project in mind you can also purchase just the plaque.

Oh and here's a fun idea for you.  You can also purchase two prints and make the plaque double sided.   Between the price, multiple prints options and the ability to make it double sided…this makes for a perfect Super Saturday craft idea.

FREEBIE FRIDAY - JULY VTing Tag

Hey all, Friday is almost over but I still have time to post a quick freebie. This is a visiting teaching gift tag designed for July. I tied mine onto some patriotic foamy soap from Bath & Body works (it is on sale for cheap right now!). I think it would also be super cute tied to a firework fountain or a box of sparklers, especially for a family with kids (mine would loooove it if that showed up at our door).

So if your summer is crazy like ours and you have had trouble getting out there, this is a quick way to let your ladies know that you are thinking about them or something fun to bring along on your visit. Have a fun and safe 4th!
