Hi, my name is Chelsea and I am a compulsive list maker. I have lists that tell me to make other lists. It's a problem I know.... Anyway, I got tired of rewriting my to do lists when the page was full but only half the things on the list were done... so I decided it was time to get a dry erase board. But one of those stark white, office eyesores was not going to do the job. The husband and I often leave each other notes on the bathroom mirror in dry erase marker, so I figured glass worked just as well as any ugly epoxy covered white board. I found an 11x14 picture frame at a yard sale and painted the wood frame a bright blue. (I chose a frame that can stand up OR hang on a wall, since I'm not one for commitment.) Then I printed a background for my memo board on white card stock. If you use an elaborate frame you can always just paint the back of the glass white or frame a blank page. Ta da! Only $2 and no ugly white board.


Overall, the project was so easy I can't believe I didn't do it sooner.
