   Perfect timing, dear one!!!

   1. It’s cold outside here in Georgia, but unfortunately it’s not cold enough for snow. We will be visiting family for for the holidays so hopefully it will turn out to be a white Christmas after all 🙂

      Happy Holidays!

8. This is so smart and eye catching. My favorite hot cocoa is Stephen’s Gourmet and with this printable, it will make a great cocoa party!
   We would love to have you join us at our weekly Super Saturday Link Party. It goes live tonight at 7 MST at http://www.madefrompinterest.net. It would be our honor to have you share your great work with us!

9. Sorry i dont understand, did you print it onto the chalkboard.
   .absolutely lovely by the way,

   1. Hi Paula, I actually made the printable look like a chalkboard, so I had the design printed at Staples for a couple bucks and then placed it into a frame. So it looks like a chalkboard, but is actually just printed on paper. Hope this helps 🙂

10. You’ve been featured at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. The post is scheduled for 6:00 PM tonight. Thank you for sharing your amazing hot chocolate bar! I so want to copy it!

    Happy New Year!

11. what is the font name used for the calligraphy?

    1. The Calligraphy font I used is Ondise 🙂

12. Just wondering what you put in mason jars? I am planning a family christmas party and would love to do this! Thanks

    1. I believe I used hot chocolate, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, marshmallows, some dipped and sprinkled candy canes, crushed peppermint and caramel and chocolate sauce 🙂 Can’t wait to make it again this year!

13. I Love this! It seems simple to make I’m going to re-pin this on our Pinterest DIY board. Keep them coming great job!

14. This is so cute! Love the idea too. Love, love the first font! Would you mind telling me what it is? I’m doing a photo book for my kids and would love to put that one in them. I’m kind of a font hoarder as well. 🙂

    1. Hi Ginni, the font is called Ondise 🙂

       1. Hi Katie,
          Can you please tell me the size of your print and where you got your easel!
          thanks so much : )

          1. Heather,

             I don’t know what size I used for the sign in the main photos, because it was a thrifted frame that I had painted last year and then gave to the venue I had my wedding at. The easel was purchased at Hobby Lobby and I then used the tea/vinegar stain to make it look old and weathered. Hope that helps 🙂

15. how can i print the round chalkboard printables that say “Marshmellows” ect
    I dont see where to download those.

    1. I didn’t include those but will search my computer for them and add them later this week 🙂

    2. Hi Deb, I just added them to this post:

       Have a great week!

16. Are the small circle labels also available? I’m not seeing where to download those.

    1. Hi Jennifer, I didn’t include those with the hot chocolate sign, but will add them later on this week, and this time I’ll make sure to spell marshmallows correctly, haha.

    2. Hi Jennifer, I just uploaded the circle labels to this post:

17. I’m sorry, I’m not tech saavy. I was hoping to print the hot cocoa bar sign as a poster since the frame I’m putting it in is 12×18. I guess I can’t upload it to walmart.com since it’s not in jpg format. Does anyone know if it can be changed? and how to do it.

    thanks!

    1. Hi Karen,

       I just uploaded a 12×18 version of the hot cocoa sign as a JPG for you to save and use. Here is the link – Just right click to save:

       Have a great weekend!

18. What a great., fun idea for a party:)!!!

19. I was just wondering ware you got the font from? For the sign? Thank You

20. I’m having trouble with the printable…I’m trying to open it in Photoshop so I can save it as a .jpg, which Costco requires for printing, and I need a passcode to do that. Any suggestions?

    1. Hi Heidi, It won’t open in photo editing programs because changes can’t be made to it, but you can open the PDF with Adobe Reader and other PDF reader software. However, I did go ahead and update the printables to be JPGs to make it easier. So now you can just click on the photo of the printable you want to be taken to the high res image 🙂

       ~Katie

21. Thank you! I appreciate the JPG files!

22. After reading through the comments and seeing others asking about the font, I purchased Ondise for my winter wedding food labels. I was thinking of using the blank chalkboard printables provided but the first/last letter of each word do not curl/curve like yours do. Did you do something to make it do that? It doesn’t look the same as the other labels for the hot cocoa bar and I wanted everything on the table to look the same. Please let me know so I can make accurate adjustments. Thanks!

    1. Hi Estefania,

       It’s an Opentype font that includes a swash feature, but you will have to see if and how you can use it with the program you have. I use illustrator but the creator of the font has a tutorial on how you can use it with Word:

       http://www.magpiepaperworks.com/blog/using-opentype-fonts-in-microsoft-word/

       You may want to browse her site for any other tutorials or FAQ.

       Hope that helps.

23. Love the chalkboard printable! Do you by chance have a plain white version with black outlined lettering and snowflakes? (The reversed-color image that could be printed on regular white paper.) I’m wanting to use this but use my transfer charcoal paper to apply it to a canvas and paint it. Thank you!

24. I wanted to enlarge hot choc sign to 24×36 so I took to Staples, Office Depot, Postnet, UPS store, and a local printer and they all said enlarging info is poor print quality. So I fixed that then they ALL said $40 to enlarge as they count all the black color as a “color” order. So it is all well and good that you had it printed cheaply but everywhere I called was pricey every place I called. ☹

    1. Hi Janet,

       The 8 x 10 would lose quality if you are trying to blow it up to being 24 x 36. I plan to offer larger sizes in my shop soon but don’t have that set up yet. I got this printed at Staples last year and it was less than $5, what you need is called an “engineering print”. Those are MUCH cheaper in both black and white and color than standard prints. Staples seems to offer the best pricing on engineering prints that I have found so far and if you search “engineering print” on my blog you can find several projects I’ve created with them.

       Here is the link to the section on Staples website, and you can see that a 24 x 36 b/w print is less than $4. Hope that helps.

25. To cut the circle labels did you use a circle punch and if so what size?

    1. Hi Erin,

       I didn’t have a circle punch at the time so I actually just cut them out with scissors 🙂

26. So cute and absolutely adorable~ Thanks for sharing!
