I kind of have a thing for chalkboards. The chalkboard wall in our kitchen is one of my favorite spots in the world (I'll have to show it to you some time).
Here's a charming way to add whimsy to your notes...and you can make as many chalk mistakes as you want. Just erase! And if you have kiddos around, let them join in the fun, too.

See how to make it happen!
The thicker the paper weight, the better. If you're hoping for a permanent fix to your images, spray gently with aerosol hairspray. And if freehand painting stresses you out, grab some stencils for your chalkboard shapes!
Thanks for stopping over. Hope your weekend is a bright one!
XOXO, MJ
PS. I made some extras that I'd love to give to you. Leave a happy comment below or follow me on Twitter (@parscaeli) if you'd like your own set of chalk notes.

OMG I love this DIY so much!! So simple and it looks fantastic, that's right up my alley. I'm a very impatient crafter :) Thank you so much for sharing, I can't wait to try it!
Hi there! Found your blog via @ApproachingJoy on Twitter, and so glad I did. It's lovely! I am in the middle of a chalkboard paint project at our home -- we're painting our dining room table. So I am loving these note cards... fun!
Have a great weekend. :) --Dawn
I love the cloud ones!
I can't wait to try these (but would love a few in the meantime). My happy thought - spent the morning at my new school and love all the little girls I'll be working with on a daily basis!
Genius! I love all things chalkboard :)
very cute- and would make great labels around the house.
Hooray for chalkboards! So glad you ladies like these. They really look so cute all stacked together.
Erin, I too am an impatient crafter. Keep your paint strokes smooth and you'll have some happy message spaces!
JessicaFG, love your happy thought! Best of luck with your fortunate new students.
Homestilo, great idea. I've seen some through Pottery Barn that are much more costly.
I'm experimenting with chalkboard self adhesive paper. It is so easy to use. Should really try paint as well.
Hi Madilla,
Great idea! I'd love to see some of the great things you're creating. Thanks for stopping over.
XOXO, MJ
