What's On Your Mind? Would You Tell Me For $65?
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!)
Let’s do coffee everyday, shall we? Click here and you’ll never miss a cup!
I would write "God Loves You" on mine. Something we need to be reminded of everyday.

RYC: That's okay! I think we all have odds and ends on our blogs – we have to do something with them. Just so long as you don't start mindlessly writing whatever gibberish comes to your head. :/

Maybe I'm not getting it. Wouldn't you end up with chalkboard dust in your food? Yuck! Plus, is the chalkboard paint really food safe.

I've never seen this stuff before!!! I could refit my whole kitchen. To do lists, love notes, spelling words, all sorts of stuff! Thanks for the link, and for the giveaway!

What I would write today on my chalkboard china, "Coffee was the highlight of my day! Some days are just like that!"
I would use the driveway as a chalkboard, and draw a GIANT picture of a certain beautiful mermaid. Then I know my lovely Daughter would "splash" in to see me.
How can I possibly lose now?
Ok, I don't want the $$$$, give it to a slightly less deserving, but more contributory member.
Love ya Babe.
I became a fan on facebook
i love chalkboard paint, the plates are really cute, but i would really want to see if that is okay for our body. I am kind of a stickler when it comes to toxins and i have no idea what is in chalkboard paint to know! i will have to look it up.
.-= Courtney´s last blog post … Keeping up with the "Bloggers"! =-.
Oh, on my Chalkboard china I would say, "Live with Purpose!"
Which reminds me, I should be writing for *the project*. . . .
.-= Breezy´s last blog post … The truth about “Randomosity” =-.
WE are totally meant to be friends! I would use this china to the point that it annoyed my husband and friends- refusing to talk and only writing on my neat chalkboard china!
@abbylbarnhart
i would totally love one of those! i'd write little lovie notes to my daughter every day! :D i might just have to go get one. she'd love it!

.-= melissa´s last blog post … Then and Now =-.
Cute stuff! You know I love giveaways! Hmmm…what would I write? I think I'd get a platter and just write a pretty (yes, I'd have to get Kat to do this for me since I have writing like an arthritic crab) "Welcome" on it. It would make me smile. : )
.-= Heathahlee´s last blog post … Homeschooling is Very Educational =-.
I LOVE the wine glasses! Those are so perfect for when you've got lots of people over for dinner and they keep mixing up their glasses! I'd let everyone decorate their own glass with colored chalk. Love it!
Candace from Chalkboard China says…
The 10" "plate" is not actually to eat on, only display. With the charger you use a food safe plate on top for food.
Truffle and cheeseboard slate surface is away from food. Just FYI. ;)
Oh how cool! I would love one of these items! Any of them would be great! The vase or the plates, all of it!
I would leave goodmorning notes for my husband. And teach my kids how to write and spell.
I've really enjoyed your blgo and I left you a surprise on my blog today. Second post down.
.-= Melissa G.´s last blog post … Brothers =-.
I would write I LOVE YOU. :)
.-= Jessica Turner´s last blog post … Less Words Wednesday =-.
I am following them on twitter now :) Keeping my fingers crossed that you pick me – this would make an awesome Christmas gift. :)
I would write: Unattended children will be fed a cup of coffee and given a puppy.
I saw this in a coffee shop; my dad and I loved it!
The chalk idea is really cool.
I would write the scripture I am working on memorizing that day!
I would totally write soemthing about coffee and how wonderful it is :).
.-= Amy´s last blog post … Some quick morning thoughts =-.
I've never heard of Chalkboard China before, but it's really cool. I would use it to write encouraging notes for my family.
Hmmm . . . probably a big and happy welcome message on a lovely vase of daisies next time you come for a visit! ;)
I guess I get to be entered twice, right? Being a forever friend and all . . .
.-= Emily Rose´s last blog post … Toys from the Past =-.
Right now my heart has been so grateful for God's amazing blessings in our family's life. I would probably express my gratitude to Him by writing praises on the china.
Maybe not so creative, but I would probably start with something basic like, "I love you." I can also see setting one of these up on an easle in the kitchen and writing things like maybe a menu or just a fun or encouraging saying for my family. :)

I'm now following Chalkboard China on Twitter. I hadn't heard of this company before tonight. Thank you so much for sharing – cute idea!
.-= Jenni Saake – InfertilityMom´s last blog post … Will You Help Me Dance? (fighting CFS) =-.
I'm also now following you on Twitter (my username is InfertilityMom). I didn't realize I wasn't already following you and look forward to your tweets. Does that make us "friends forever"? ;)
I would write little notes to my hubby and son to remind them how special they are to me.
Love this idea! I would serve dinner on them, and the person with the star on their plate would get to choose what to have for dessert!
I would write little subtle notes to my husband…
XOXOtakeoutthetrashXOXO

.-= Abra Leah´s last blog post … More skirts for Chloe =-.
Whatsoever things are true, noble,just,pure, lovely,of good report, praiseworthy THINK on THESE things <3!!!! Encouraging scripture is what i would use it for :-)!!! Oh Phil 4:8 is ever so good for me!!! Nourishment to the soul.
I am always writing notes to my kids. This would be one more fun way to do that and encourage them. Today it would be a note for my daughter: Sweet girl, I am proud that you are asking God for wisdom! He will give it to you.
I think a scavenger hunt would be fun….a little treat with the next clue on each plate. Could be used for parties or just a fun night with the kids or to direct someone special to a wonderful gift!!
.-= Wendy´s last blog post … Blessings or Cursing? =-.
I would write fun notes to my children and husband, reminding them how much they mean to me!
These are so cute…I would write…..please do the dishes!!!!
This is a super idea. After setting the table this week for many fun dinners I would use a chalkboard china plate to write an appropriate message. For instance when we had Mexican this week I wrote 'Viva Amigos' on the little chalkboard I got from the dollar store. :-)
I've book marked their site;)
I would write, "Welcome to our Home." I always want my home to be welcoming, and what better why to say it than with words on a beautiful piece of china?
I'm a fan of theirs on facebook now!
I would love to get a carafe and write things like Good Morning! on it or just plain old what is in the carafe at a get together.
that is too cool!! I want.
.-= BelovedAimee´s last blog post … It's Not Fair- Well Actually It Was =-.
ok I would definitely get the charger plate…and maybe the rectangle vase!

I'm a FB fan <3
.-= BelovedAimee´s last blog post … It's Not Fair- Well Actually It Was =-.
I would write: Will you marry me???
Becuase I'd marry my husband again every day, and it might make him feel loved to be proposed to this time!
