Really really great! Love the entire look of this. And love the washi tape detail!ReplyDelete
Well this is WAY better than plain old stickers on a calendar! Really cute. Great idea using the washi tape on the binder clips!ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, I LOVE this. I really want to make one. I only have one kiddo that can do chores, but I'm going to have to try to figure out how to make this work. I've been seeing all of these pallet craft, but where do people get pallets?ReplyDeleteReplies
I have found them on the side of the road being thrown out as trash and also I called a cement plant and asked if they had any old pallets they were throwing away, they said I could just pick some up. You could also try a construction company.Delete
Love it! Pinned it!ReplyDelete
Love it! I would have to adjust it some since I only have one child. Pinning it now. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I like this idea!ReplyDelete
Your chore chart is functional & oh so shabby chic! I'm sharing on my facebook page. Thanks for linking up! IT'S A PARTY @ Three Mango SeedsReplyDelete
Sarah, I love how you converted these plain boards to this beautiful and so functional DIY chore chart! I'll have to try this freezer paper transfer method! Thanks for linking up your creativity at It's Party Time! I'd love to feature you in my Features post - could I ask you a favor nad please add my party link to your post? http://www.settingforfour.com/2013/01/its-party-time-1-13-2013-linky-party.htmlReplyDelete
Thanks so much and again - thanks so much for sharing your fabulous craftiness!!

Love this. Would you be able to share the dimensions of the pallet strips you cut? thanks for sharing.ReplyDeleteReplies
I cut them 13.5 inches long. The pallet slats are just about 4 inches wide. So the total chore chart ended up being 13.5 inches long and almost 16 inches tall.Delete
This is really cute. I love the idea of a reward when the jar gets full. :)ReplyDelete
Love the rustic look! The reward system is a great idea too :)ReplyDelete
Visiting via Twigg Studios linky. xx
That looks really good! My 3 year old loves her mason jar chore reward system too. :)ReplyDelete
I'd love if you shared this project at my Show & Tell party this week. http://www.gingerlymade.com/2013/01/show-tell-9.html
Thanks for sharing with us at Someday Crafts! I will be featuring your project tomorrow on the blog. Be sure to stop back and get a featured at Someday Crafts button!ReplyDelete
How cute! That's a great idea! Hopefully your kids will get better with the pebble thing..I understand that it might be difficult if they're too young to really understand the reward/punishment aspect. But definitely a fun idea for chores!ReplyDelete
Prettiest chore chart I've ever seen!! Love it :)ReplyDelete
Wow! Super pretty chore chart! I really like the pebble idea. Not only is it a nice reward/reprimand system, but it also fits in with the decor of the chart.ReplyDelete
Love this! Functional art is all my tiny house has room for. I can't wait to try the freezer paper trick sounds way faster than my usual method. Is there any chance that is a free downloadable font?ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, it is Channel and it was free. I think I downloaded it from dafont.com???Delete
This is wonderful and I will be making it very soon! I have been looking for one that will allow me to change the chores weekly (my kids rotate them). One question, where do you store the pebbles before they complete the chores? Thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I just store them in a large mason jar in a cupboard in my kitchen-since that's where the chore chart is.Delete
Do you need to sand the wood? I wan't to make a head board out of pallets but it seems like I would definitely need to sand the wood so kids don't get splinters.ReplyDeleteReplies
If I were making a head board I would sand the wood. I sanded it a little for this chore chart. It can be difficult to sand depending on what kind of shape your wood is in. Sometimes it can be sanded with a little piece of sandpaper but sometimes the wood is so rough it would take an electric sander. And if you use an electric sander you want to make sure that you won't wear down the wood too much if the wood is really old.Delete
Super cute! Thanks for the idea, and for the tip on your stamping method!ReplyDelete

I have to make this! We use jars of marbles, but they are just sitting on the counter driving me crazy right now! We also have a "marble store" so the older kids can trade in certain amounts for certain privileges (ie computer time, tv time) or rewards (slumber party, movie night, game night). Works really well with the 4 and 9 year old and they are learning a form of "currency"! Thanks for the idea!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 24, 2013 at 11:52 AM
I am in the middle of making this and I haven't been able to find the font you use on my powerpoint program. Could you tell me the name of it? I absolutely LOVE it!ReplyDeleteReplies
I had to download it, it is called Channel, you can download it for free from a handful of websites.Delete
- AnonymousApril 25, 2013 at 8:40 AM
Great, thank you so much!Delete
How are you hanging it on the wall?ReplyDeleteReplies
I actually used a heavy duty hook on the back-it's like an oversized staple. You could use any sort of picture hanging hooks as long as they are strong enough to hold the weight of all the pebbles in the jars.Delete
I love this! Will have to make one for my kidsReplyDelete
I love the look of the chart! It is so hard to find a system that works well for all the kids - we're still trying to find one for my youngest but she loves tactile objects to the rocks may work.ReplyDelete
Where can I get those clips??ReplyDeleteReplies
Those metal clips can be found at any office supply store and I just added some washi tape on there.Delete
This is so cute!! I love your blog and I'm your newest follower :)ReplyDelete
A friend of mine made this for me yesterday. I'm going to have to get a wall anchor to hang it on the wall. I will send you a picture when it's done. It's going to look great on the wall next to my antique chalkboard! Thanks for the idea!ReplyDelete
Great tips everybody. Thanks! I even have a giant colorful sign on my schoolroom that claims 'If not Pine Tree State, who? If not currently, when?'. I refer the kids to the current whenever there's a large number to scrub up, or employment to be done.job chart It's nice to listen to them say it to themselves typically, as they devour a born pencil or one thing (that wasn't even theirs...wow!). I additionally love the method you visit your students as 'friends'. may strive it....ReplyDelete

Love it! Just FYI: It's laundry "chute" not laundry shoot.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha that's so funny I spelled it wrong! Great now I have to print off new lists! :) I'm surprised my english major husband never noticed.Delete
What a good idea... I think I will duplicate this, but for the adults in our family! How about a "no sugar/bread/junkfood" incentive? Ha! I especially love the text part - the hand written look is very personable. Nice job. I'll pin this for sure!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 15, 2014 at 12:39 PM
I'm making this right now, well, my husband is :). Thank you so much for the idea, it is super cute and I'm so excited to put it to use. Do you know what size of jar you used?ReplyDeleteReplies
I used 8oz jars.Delete
Great visual feedback for the kids. Plus the sign looks great!ReplyDelete
Splendid work. Your ideas fit my house. I will get started this weekendReplyDelete

I love this. I has an intention about a special gift for my family. Tks so muchReplyDelete
Great tips everybody. Thanks! I will make this for my friends tomorrowReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing with us at Someday Crafts, One Saturday afternoon, I pulled out a bunch of felt scraps and made a huge variety of little felties that represented chores that either we think are important or that I figured other families would use.ReplyDelete
This is a great idea! I never realised that you could make diy chore chart like this. I'll be doing something similar for my daughter once she's old enough to start doing chores.ReplyDelete

the stamping method with the wax paper ...how long does it take to dry on the wood?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hmmm... maybe 20 minutes. Sorry I don't remember exactly but not too long.Delete
I will try to do. Hope I succeed. This looks great.ReplyDelete
Great. I use the bottle instead of jars and put flowers. It looks nice, I wish I could share my picReplyDelete

Save the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout!
A $1 million dollar grant, made by the Yellowstone Park Foundation (YPF) in 2012, provided significant resources to Yellowstone to immediately begin implementation of their Native Fish Conservation Program. The Program is a call to action -- action urgently needed to protect and preserve the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem and the park's native fish populations. YPF's contribution is being matched dollar for dollar by federal funds.
Make a donation today and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000!
The health of Yellowstone's native trout population has a direct impact throughout the ecosystem. The continued decline of the park's native fish could be particularly devastating for birds of prey, the magnificent grizzly bear, and other wildlife species that specifically depend on native cutthroats as a vital food source. Also, should Yellowstone and westslope cutthroat be listed as endangered species, angling opportunities could be greatly reduced and management efforts complicated.
The Native Fish Conservation Program is based on a National Park Service plan, which outlines the park's increased focus on restoring native fish and creating resiliency in fish populations. It lays out a detailed management strategy to ensure that native fish are restored to sustainable levels, so that they can support the natural food chain, native biodiversity, and sport fishery purposes.
You can help! Please Donate Today to help Save the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout!
Scientists and park managers predict, based on the latest research, that it will take roughly five more years and $5 million in private funding to achieve the goals of the Native Fish Conservation Program. The Yellowstone Park Foundation makes grants to Yellowstone National Park on an annual basis, and fundraising for this critical effort is ongoing.

6/02 in Yankee History
The red-letter day (bordered in black) -
1941: Lou Gehrig dies of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at age 37 in New York. Gehrig passed away at his home in the Bronx. Since then, his illness has been known primarily as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
On other 2nds of June…
2005: The Yankees have been swept by the team with the worst record in the majors (16-37), falling 5-2 to the Royals for their first five-game losing streak in more than two years. Kansas City pitchers allowed just six runs in the series. It was the third time in their storied history the Yankees had been swept in three games by the team with the worst record in major leagues. The other times were in 2000, by the Detroit Tigers, and 1937 by the Philadelphia Athletics. The Royals had gone 78 series without sweeping anyone, the longest drought in the majors since the Phillies went 79 series without a sweep in 1996-97.
1996: At Oakland' the Yankees win 11-4 and do it the old-fashioned way-by stealing 8 bases. Gerald Williams' with 10 career steals' has 4 steals to tie a club record' and rookie Derek Jeter adds 2. Kenny Rogers (4-1) is the benefactor' pitching 6 1/3 innings for the win' as the Yankees stay 1 1/2 games ahead of the O's.
1958: Whitey Ford fans 6 in a row to tie an AL record as he shuts out the White Sox 3-0. Sox pitcher Jim Wilson allows just 6 hits but three – 2 by Hank Bauer and one by Mickey Mantle – are out of the park. On a botched hit-and-run attempt' Luis Aparicio is thrown out at second, ending his streak of 26 consecutive steals.
1957: In the first inning of the nitecap of a doubleheader with Baltimore at the Stadium, Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra' homer back to back off Skinny Brown' and Elston Howard goes deep as well, for a 4-0 lead. The fans could have headed for the exits then, because there will be no more scoring on either side the rest of the way.
1954: At the Stadium' the Yanks tag Early Wynn for seven runs in the first inning without the righty recording an out. Don Mossi relieves and starting in the 2nd inning' the Yanks are held hitless by Mossi and four more relievers. Cleveland peck away' eventually tying the game before winning in the 10th' 8-7. Hal Newhouser' who tosses the last three hitless innings' is the winner.
1948: At Detroit' the Yankees open the series with a 1-0 win behind Vic Raschi' but lose left fielder Charlie Keller who breaks his hand. Johnny Lindell will move in as the regular left fielder.
1940: Horace Clarke, starting Yankee second baseman from 1967 until 1974, is born. Happy 72nd, Hoss!
1938: Gene Michael, starting Yankee shortstop from 1969 to 1974 and later general manager, is born. Happy 74th, Stick!
1925: Yankee first baseman Wally Pipp is beaned during batting practice' resulting in a severe headache. Things will only get worse for him as Lou Gehrig takes over at first and goes 3-for-5 against the Senators – it will be nearly 14 years before he is out of the lineup again. Reliever Alex Ferguson gets the win for New York in the 8-5 victory' with Allan Russell taking the loss.
1920: The Yankees stretch their win streak to 10 games by beating the Senators 8-1 behind Jack Quinn. Babe Ruth hits a two-run shot in the opener of the doubleheader' connecting off Tom Zachary and Leon Carlson. The Babe bangs out another' his 14th' in the nitecap off Bill Snyder' but the Senators win 7-6. Clyde Milan homers in the first game' while Bob Meusel' Howie Shanks' Muddy Ruel' and Braggo Roth all homer in game 2. The New York Times notes that 'Ruth is the only player in the game who has the handle of his bat wound with tape. It gives him a better grip.'
The 1920 Yankees

Matt Blank, Dennis Basso and the Story Behind Meghan McCain's Latest TV Project
Last week, it was all about authors and agents, and today it was television titans' turn in the rotating cast of characters that is Wednesdays at Michael's. Tonight when Liz Smith hosts her annual kick-off for her Literacy Partners' initiative, the joint will be jumping with social types like Diane von Furstenberg (who, we hear, recently broke her shoulder skiing and is, no doubt, sporting a fashionable sling) and her Vespa loving hubby Barry Diller, Cynthia McFadden, Cornelia Guest, Calvin Trillin, Nan Talese and Gay Talese. We won't be there to trade air kisses with the glitterati, because we'll be chatting up our favorite Bravolebrities at their upfront party across town (Giggy, that means you!).
Today I was joined by Evan Shapiro, president of pivot (yes, with a lower case 'p') the new cable network targeting the all-important millennial audience launched by Participant Media, the production company responsible for an impressive slate of projects, including An Inconvenient Truth, The Help and Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Participant chairman and founder Jeff Skoll and CEO Jim Berk tapped Evan to spearhead the company's expansion into television in May of last year. Prior to that, he had served as president of IFC and Sundance Channel where we was responsible for award-winning program, like the buzzed about Portlandia.
I could barely keep up with Evan, whose passion for his latest gig was evident from the moment he sat down. The incredibly youthful 45-year-old father of two teenage girls told me running pivot is his "dream job," because he's doing more than creating what he considers groundbreaking television. "Ten years ago I would have said my dream job would have been at NBC or CBS. Today, it's this job because we're doing something that's going to have an impact on the world." Evan dismisses the notion of millennials as spoiled and entitled and instead compares them to 'the greatest generation' saying, "Like 'the greatest generation,' they have been handed a series of events not of their own making, and, post 9/11 and the Great Recession, they have a real sense of their place in the world and want to make a difference."

Report: VW New Beetle successor timeframe and details come into focus
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Apr 7th, 2010 at 4:01PM
The Volkswagen New Beetle hasn't exactly been, well, "New," for many years now. However, a report from AutoWeek states that the Bug will get a much-needed overhaul later this year, with a concept car expected to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show near the end of 2010. Following the show car debut, the production New Beetle should be hitting U.S. dealers in May of 2011. AW reports that design sources within Volkswagen indicate that the new New Beetle will take styling cues from the 2005 Ragster concept (pictured). What's more, the next-generation car will have a stronger focus on driving... Read More

Zinka Colored Sunblock Zinc Nosecoat
Great for those extended days out in the sun!! This formula not only looks cool but it provides the highest waterproof sun protection possible!
Zinka is the original nosecoat that was very popular in the late 80's, early 90's. It is made from zinc-oxide.
Zinka Nosecoat offers the absolute maximum protection available from the sun's harmful rays. Zinka's proven formula withstands the most extreme weather conditions performing flawlessly in wind, hot, cold & wet. Zinka Nosecoat works as a sunblock not as a "sunscreen". It doesn't rub in like most sunscreen, but goes on opaque to be seen and to afford total protection. A clear sunscreen simply cannot provide total protection. It's clear, the sun's harmful rays will eventually penetrate the skin. It is the color that stays on the skin that ensures maximum protection by not allowing sunlight to be absorbed by the skin.
Endorsed by Dermatologists and extreme athletes worldwide, Zinka protects & performs!
INGREDIENTS: Petrolatum, zinc oxide, beeswax, paraffin, sorbitan oleate, fragrance (parfum), zea mays (corn) starch, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E acetate) talc, vegetable oil, TBHQ, propylparaben, glyceryl oleate, citric acid. MAY CONTAIN: titanium dioxide, yellow 5 (ci#19140), chromium hydroxide green (ci#77289), ultramarine blue (ci#77007), manganese violet (ci#77742), red 6 lake (ci#15850), iron oxide.

On February 24, 2013, at approximately 4:00 am, patrol officers were called to the 9100 block of Baltimore Avenue for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, patrol officers found Avelar suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Avelar was taken to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead, according to the blog of the Prince George's County Police Department.
The preliminary investigation reveals the murder appears gang-related. Avelar had been attending a party at a hotel on Baltimore Avenue. A fight broke out in the parking lot between the group the victim was with and a second group attending a separate party at the same hotel. During that fight, Avelar was shot.
Detectives are working to identify the suspect(s) in this case.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Prince George's County Police Department's Homicide Unit at 301-772-4925. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477), text "PGPD plus your message" to CRIMES (274637) on your cell phone or submit a tip online.

But I have one issue, when I try to use the window key to get out of WoW, it doesn't do anything but show the Windows task bar at the bottom, so from there I hit show desktop. And it complies, but when I open up anything else in the desktop, it will open WoW, and then whatever I opened on top of it. Does this happen to you, or is it part of an addon?
