I saw these chalkboard gift tags via Etsy; I thought they were adorable and would add a little something extra to our Christmas packages this year.
I showed them to a couple of my girlfriends, and we decided to have a little paint party while the guys were working yesterday. I found my tags at Hobby Lobby in the Christmas crafts section. They have holes in them already and are meant to be ornaments for kids to craft. I got snowflakes and Christmas trees :)

We just painted a couple coats of black chalkboard paint on them...seriously the easiest project ever, but so cute! The best part is that they be used over and over!

I also made a few recipes from Pinterest this week; some hits and some misses in my opinion. My thoughts:
*One Dish Chicken & Veggie Bake-this was incredibly easy to make and pretty good considering the effort. Certainly not the BEST thing I've ever made, but I'll definitely do it again if I need something quick & easy.
*Crockpot Cheesy Chicken & Rice-about the same as above. GREAT for the amount of effort that went into it and tasty!
*Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles-these were yummy! Rob loved them. We had them with a honey-soy salmon thing that I made up with what we had on hand.
*Copy-cat Pumpkin Spice Latte-this was DELISH! I'll definitely do this one again. Talk about a money (and calorie) saver!
*Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas-one word: GROSS! Won't make them again. Probably the only place garbanzo beans & I will meet again is in hummus.

One last thing: I have a fun little giveaway coming up tomorrow, I'd love if you came back and checked it out! Hoping it won't be a complete bust ;)
Happy (?) Monday!

those gift tags are ADORABLE and such a great idea! i think you've inspired me to make them for this year's presents! Love it! thanks so much for sharing and for linking up!
I like your tags way better than the Pinterest ones...way more festive!
What a cute idea!
I'm going to have to try that PSL recipe. I pinned it, just have to find the time now :)
I love the chalkboard gift tags!!! So clever and very easy!
I roasted chickpeas with cinnamon sugar and olive oil. Not a huge hit. I thougt you were gonna say WIN when you said honey, but I guess that didn't help either haha. I roasted mine too long so they dried out too much. We also tried a spicey roasted chickpea with olive oil and chili powder.
Cute idea with the chalkboard tags... totally reusable and I love that!
Your blog just makes me happy!! The snowflakes were so cute and those Spicy Thai Noodles look delicious! Going to have to try that!!
I love those gift tags, so creative and unique!
