Menu & Organizing Boards.

If you're anything like me, this time of year I really start wanting to get things in order around my house again. During the summer months we obviously relax a bit about routines and schedules - but with the start of school right around the corner I'm starting to get excited about getting back to a routine and having things in order.

Today I wanted to share a couple of projects that would be perfect for keeping track of notes, reminders, daily schedules and even a weekly menu!

For this first bulletin board - we actually used a standard (brown) piece of bulletin board and changed the color by spraying it with an spray ink mist. Such a creative idea! The push pins where then created by just adding a thumb tack to the back of regular scrapbooking embellishment pieces.

For this Menu Board we added a metal sheet behind the pattern paper and magnets to the embellishments to create a magnetic board. In addition, the pattern paper and letter stickers are behind a piece of glass so you can use the front as a dry erase board and easily reuse it week by week.

The same idea was used on the "This Week" board. Each day is divided out with the use of pattern paper, and the entire layout covered with glass so you can use it as a dry erase board to keep track of the schedule for the week!
