Get FREE SHIPPING on all Halloween Treat Bags now through October 3rd!  Enter the code TRICKORTREAT at Checkout!

Write your little witch or ghost’s name on the bag, hand them a flashlight, and they are ready to go!

Double the use by using the bag for a lunch tote during the fall season or as a fall-themed toddler tote or preschool diaper bag, to boot!

Created with our classic Orange and Black Gingham oilcloth fabrics and a fun, flexible and erasable chalkboard block.

To make your labeling last longer, try using our Chalk Pen – looks like chalk, stays on longer! Little fingers or bumps can’t rub off the chalk pen lettering. When you’re ready to change, just wipe thorougly with a damp cloth.

In my constant search for all things chalky and all things upcycled, I found this amazing chalkboard chair.

So easy to create with a can of chalkboard paint and any old chair that needs a facelift. 

 Simply sand, paint and add some funky new or vintage fabric (Mexican Oilcloth fabric would also look amazing) - you’ve got a unique piece that you can doodle on when the mood strikes you! 

Fall’s almost here – even in Texas!  Today is cool, breezy and downright nice.   

My daughter started Kindergarten last week and my son is now in second grade, so things are definitely changing around our house.  Lots of peace, quiet and work getting done, which is definitely not always the norm!

Here’s one of my favorite shots of my kids – whispering to each other outside their elementary school on the first day back.  Big brother has been walking little sister to her kindergarten class every day so far.  Cute just does not describe it…

Hope your kiddos have had a great first week or two of school!   Stay tuned for exciting Chalkydoodles news for the Fall, including lots of new products, some great sales heading your way and our Holiday 2010 preview!
