Smart ways to use something a lot of us probably already have lying around the house. Maybe for Thanksgiving you could leave markers out and have everyone write down things they are thankful for?

Also I really love the light wreath. Did you make it?

@jess13 if you read the post you'll see that was kind of the point. It is supposed to look like a hand drawn blueprint.

I think it looks great.

I've never fully understood all of the chalkboard plant accessories. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I figure as soon as I went to water those plants (unless I was really careful) I'd end up just washing the chalk right off.

Yeah, if I were going to make my own I'd get a craft circle punch and then go get a bunch of paint chips from the hardware store. Then I'd have lots of colors without having to mess with too much paint. And it would look very precise because you couldn't smear it. Easy.

This is so cute, but I would be too afraid to ride it and scratch it up. More of a Bike-As-Art thing.

Thanks for all the nice comments! It was a lot of fun.

As for the grittiness, well, it was a party outside so I guess there's only so much you can do. But we put all the food on plates and then on trays, plus we kept everything covered when it wasn't being served so no bugs or outdoor debris would blow on it. No dirtier than any picnic or camp meal. We didn't have any complaints.

Also, to everyone who liked the tablecloth, I made it from a few yards of fabric I found at Hobby Lobby. Completely unexpected find because usually fabric there is slim pickings, but I just happened to see it and think it was really pretty. Total stroke of luck.
