I always like coming up with cheap but cute gifts to give teachers, friends and family at Christmas time. I love chalkboards, and these are so cute in any room. You can easily make each one for under $5... Paint included! You can see the full tutorial at http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/11/diy-chr...
Oh, and I just saw your Oreck ad this evening.
I saw your commercial too - I kept screaming - I know her, I read her blog :) while my husband looked at me like I was crazy :)
