Make Your Own Gift

A good friend of mine just moved into a new house and is graciously hosting my husband and me for dinner.  I wanted to bring her a hostess gift and house warming gift but didn't know what exactly to get her, nor what she needs. 

She is a meal-planner like me but we all know post-it's are not so glamorous and I always lose my grocery list 4-5 times during the week anyway, so I thought I would make a prettier one that stays put and it is your kitchen when you need it.

Here is a picture:


 


How to make it:

1.  Purchase or re-purpose an 8 x 10 frame. 
2.  Cut scrapbook paper to match your kitchen motif - cut a few different patterns and colors
3.  Place the paper where you would typically put a picture
4.  Purchase a dry-erase marker and viola!

This is a great item to place family reminders, quotes, Bible verses, or my personal favorite, the grocery list - all dressed up.
