This wood chalkboard is 5 1/2" x 11" x 3/4" and is perfect for any occasion! It is hung with a piece of twine which adds about 5" to the chalkboard when hanging. What a great gift idea for bridesmaids, teachers, friends or for yourself! Please allow 1 - 5 business days for your order to be made and shipped. Since each one is handmade, yours may very slightly from the one in the photos, but it will be the same great quality! Since the sign is handmade from wood, beautiful irregularities in the wood may be seen. Chalkboard is wrapped beautifully for gift giving! Wood is porous, so I do not recommend using chalkboard pens on these signs. To remove leftover chalk residue, use a slightly damp cloth. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, Live the life you've always imagined. ~ Henry David Thoreau
