Oh, the places you go!

Remember that childhood game where you close you eyes, spin the globe and place your finger on the spinning ball til it stops - Then, immediately declare, "I'm going on vacation to..." or "I will forever live in..." (and frequently you're finger is in the middle of the ocean?) I don't know why I loved this game, but I did. Maybe it was because my parents took me to Europe at age six, and I already had the travel bug. But the "globe" game was up there with cat's cradle and MASH for me. It was a classic.

Thank you designsponge for bringing back good memories. Thank you for not only reminding us the wonders of the globe game, but for making it a chalkboard. They just upped the ante. I have been looking at this DIY project for weeks, and then yesterday, when the Pottery Barn magazine arrived, there was a very similar chalkboard globe for sale. Pay for it? No way.

Why is it whenever there's something expensive I just want to make it? Am I that obsessed with beating the system? Well, anyways, I was enjoying it so much, I thought you might too.
