In the works

A couple projects have been nagging at me for a couple years now, and I haven't done anything about them for different reasons that mostly still boil down to a fear of commitment.
For instance, I've been seeing things -- all sorts of things! -- with chalkboard paint applied to them. Like the votives I found at Barnes & Noble. What a simple, fun idea! But, while I did buy some of the chalkboard paint, I haven't actually committed to what I'm going to put the paint ON. Originally, I thought I might put it on the bottles of hot sauce we made for Christmas, but that never happened. And then I started creating all sorts of fun shapes that I'd cut out of wood, to make into cute chalkboards. But that's not a one-day project which is what I'd been looking for on the day I started it. I still want to do it, though. Just like I want to do the votives and the drinking glasses and the jars and the boxes ... and and and and. Sigh. So now, I could use some input? Anyone have a vote on what they'd most like to be able to write on? I have the project bug bad, and the purses are still going strong, but I think after this week I'll have lost my steam and have no interest in sewing. More like, I will have a greater interest in being able to use my dining table again. Sewing projects have completely covered every inch of space in my house at the moment and I'm starting to yearn for a clear table.
