Today, my bloggy friend, Sandra, over at This Small House blogged about some awesome labels that she found. They are sticky-backed chalkboard labels. I was thinking about how jealous I was that she found these great stickers because I could really use some of them.

That is an awesome idea. Way to go. I definitely have to try this out. I have been wanting to buy chalkboard paint for a while and have yet to do so. This was a push I needed.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Found you from Small House. I am so blog lifting that idea. I need those in my classroom and home. Too cute.
Oh, what a great idea. I have some of the chalkboard paint collecting dust as well, so I'm going to try it!!
So cool! I've used chalkboard paint directly on the container but had trouble getting clean lines...your way is so much better.
Very cool! Ingenius!!!!!
