Every month I like to change my computer desktop and iphone backgrounds to a fun desktop wallpaper. This month I decided to make one of my own and and share it as a free download for TidyMom readers.
Chalkboard look it all the rage right now and I thought it would make a cute background for my computer, iphone and ipad! I made them in 2 sizes that should fit most computer monitors, as well as a size for the iphone and ipad.
If you need help saving and setting your new background, it’s super easy, but I have some instructions for you to make it even easier.

Download 1024 x 768 (most regular sized monitors)
Download 1280 x 800 (for most wide screen monitors)
Download 320 x 480 (for iphone)
Download 1024 x 1024 (for ipad)
NOTE: there seems to be some trouble downloading with Internet Explorer, if you have trouble, try another browser, like Firefox.
How to set an image as your background wallpaper
Click to download the image size that best fits your monitor or device.
Then click the down arrow on the top left of the screen to save to your computer or device.
After you save, find the image you just downloaded. If you use Windows, find the image that you just downloaded on your computer and right click that image. A box will pop up and click Set as Desktop Background.
If you use a Mac you do the same thing; when you right click on the image you saved, a box will pop up and you’ll want to click Set Desktop Picture.

That’s it! Easy Peasy!
Happy New Year!! Here’s to a fabulous 2013

VERY fun design Cheryl!
Cheryl, 10 years ago I am pretty sure you and I would have met at some sort of Scrapbooking event. You always have such fun and creative ways of taking the ho-hum out of everyday life. Happy New Year!
The wallpaper is so cute, but I can’t save it to my iPhone 🙁
You save it like you do any picture on your iphone.
If you tap the picture it should give you the option to save it.
Happy New Year!
I did, but when I select the download it won’t let me tap the picture to save it
How strange – ok, I just changed it in the post
