What do you do at 4am?

                                                                I craft, of course!

          
   My hubby and I have decided to make a monthly meal plan menu instead of weekly. And we are determined to stick to the menu. I decided we needed an erasable calendar to keep track of our plan. Ben Franklin's had these frames (around $4.50 w/ a coupon).

          

Ben Franklin's also had clear plastic 12x12 blank calendars that look so cute... but they were $6! I knew I could do something almost  as cute for a lot less $$. Ruler + Sharpie= free. Much better. I thought some black electrical tape would give a really finished look, but the tape we had was too wide so I decided not to use it.

                                        

  To write the days of the week, I used a dry erase marker to write the days and then turned the glass over and traced the letters with a Sharpie  (otherwise you have to write backwards...)

Add some scrapbook paper and I'm almost finished...

But why stop there? The frame needed to painted and distressed, of course.

Better.
