Dollar Notes

Look at what I bought at the dollar store.With a little chalkboard paint and a new ribbon,I have a fun way to remind the boys
in my house that they have a chore to do.

    Thanks for this wonderful idea.
    I did buy a few of these and I did use a few but I couldn't think of anything else to do with them.

    I am so excited.

    It's the little things. LOL

    I am SO glad you posted this! I was just at Dollar Tree yesterday and saw those. I wanted them since I figured I could to something awesome, but since I couldn't think of anything at that moment, I didn't get them. Thanks to you, I will be picking some up on Monday. You had an awesome idea!

    Our Dollar Trees are not compatible. I was inspired by you and stepped into mine last week to find nothing but absolute JUNK - and not the good kind. A little disappointing!

    Yet another great use for chalkboard paint. Knowing my husband though he would smudge out the chore words and write something fresh in it's place. Awesome idea though. Thanks.
