I’ve wanted a small chalkboard that I could change for the seasons/holidays for forever now so when I saw a $3 chalkboard in the Target dollar bin, I didn’t think twice about putting it in my cart.

What You’ll Need: -Target Dollar Spot Chalkboard ($3) -Painter’s Tape -Stain of your choice (if you don’t like the light/natural wood) -Chalk/chalk pen I already had the rest of the things for this project except the chalk pen which I needed a new one of. 1.

One great thing about moving is that it forces you to organize and get rid of things whether you want to or not. We’ve always kept all of our medicines, bandaids, etc in one big plastic container but it gets messy fast which makes it hard to know what you have.
