I got $65 worth of awesome up for grabs.

Who wants it?

What kind of awesome?  Take a look…

Yes, I realize *most* people would use a wine glass for, you know, wine, but I prefer coffee beans, thank you very much! They take me to a happy place.

I’m a little more normal when it comes to vases…

Isn’t this square vase cool?!  I like that I can write on it whatever strikes my fancy…and today I was “struck” by that quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

What else can I write on…

Ah yes, plates.  Who doesn’t want to write on plates?  No, really, like if you want your kiddo to eat broccoli and they won’t, just use this plate and say there is a secret messege for them underneath (muhahahaha…).  That little gem came from @poshnicole.

Other creative ways to express yourself with the awesomeness (otherwise known as Chalkboard China):

• To leave tiny messages for your family telling them you love them . . . or wishing them a good day . . . or encouraging them. @HeyPooks

• To play trivia – write a quote on the plate and see who can identify it first…or put a “word-of-the-day” and have a race to see who can find the definition first.  Great dinner time fun! @molytail

• The cook/place setter could write sweet little notes on the plate to make the dish receiver smile. @molytail

• Draw coffee-theme stuff on it (or whatever matches your kitchen), fill it with coffee beans and put pens in it.  @stop4chocolate

• Great for weddings/parties/holidays

• Your morning coffee…or your husbands morning coffee with a different love note written each morning (just wait until you see the new coffee mug they’re coming out with – wink wink)

Now, who wants to have a little shopping spree?  Oh goody, I knew you would!

(With $65 to spend, you can get more than just one or two things…see, or you can splurge on one big item!)

What do you have to do to win the $65 of awesomeness?

Friends, I also happen to think Chalkboard China is super awesome because they are one of my sponsors for the Type-A Mom Conference – they are making it possible for me to stay an extra day.  I heart them.

The contest is open until Sunday at midnight, Eastern time.

(Chalkboard China works for me!)
