Summer is winding down, Labor Day weekend is here and I think most of the children in our lives are back at school. Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but I couldn’t help but notice a few fun ways that school-related items were being used in non-traditional ways at The Scoop this week, so I pulled them all together for you! Here are some great ideas for using maps, globes and chalkboards!
I love this arrangement that The Happy Housie used on her faux mantel! It has both…a globe and a chalkboard…and just says back to school! 
Isn’t this a fun and unique way to use a map? Obsessive and Creative used découpage to apply it to a tub! Love it! 
Ashley’s Dandelion Wishes shared a whole round-up of ways to use maps, including these origami globes strung together to create a garland from Poppytalk. Clever!
I love the frenchy shape of this table base! Artsy VaVa added a map to the top and gave it a distressed look.
And now on to chalkboards! You have to love this chalkboard look Ballard-inspired kitchen conversions mat from Hymns and Verses! Head over to see how she did it! 
Remodelando la Casa created this DIY chalkboard with a tray for her laundry room…pretty! Wow…she even has a chandelier! I might actually enjoy doing laundry here!
With a Dash of Color used chalkboard labels in creating her herb station…fun! 
A chalkboard and burlap get all dressed up in Maddiebella Home’s “Magazine This…” tablescape…beautiful!
And Suzy at Worthing Court created this charming chalkboard sign for her typography gallery. She gives you a great tutorial for adding the graphics, too!
I love chalkboards so much…maybe it’s the teacher in me…that I had to share some of my own chalkboard crafts. You can see them by clicking here …

Can you tell I love them?Don't forget...there’s still time to link up if you haven’t yet and lots more to see as well, so head on over to The Scoop to check out more wonderfully creative links and share yours!
