I have a quirky confession to make. I have hated chalk all my life. Hated the way it felt in my hands as a child and still do. Hate the dust. Hate the sound it makes when you write with it. Just plain hate it! So, I was Over The Moon when a reader told me about Chalk Ink after my post on Organizing With Cracker Jars.

Here are my Cracker Jars {I bought them at Wally World} when I used plain white chalk.

Here they are after I re wrote the tags with the incredible Chalk Ink! Gone was the horrid feeling I had just holding the chalk in my hand! Plus, my handwriting is so much better!

The most important jar in the house!

Are you loving the slate tags? I got them in Melissa’s Open Sky Shop at The Inspired Room!

The Chalk Ink Markers are not just for chalk boards. You can write on glass, mirrors {I use my bathroom mirror and my ah ha moment place} and plastic. They wipe right off with water too! I got mine at Michaels.

Have you heard about these or are they new to you too?

Seriously?! It wipes off with water? Wow!!! That is awesome! I love decorating with chalk boards in my kitchen and using it with my kids to write goals for the day. Sadly I am allergic to the product that chalk is made out of and my hands always break out in a rash. You have just made my day!!!! Where did you find them? Was it a specialty store or on-line? I HAVE to get some!!! Thank you so much!!!

Just picked these up at Michaels Craft Store yesterday. They were $11.99 for a pack of 4. I used my 40% coupon from the paper and got them for less than $8!

Love them! I have to go write on stuff now…Thanks MJ!
