Week 2- Picture Frame Dry Erase Calander

Still not enough toilet paper rolls )=

So this week I'm going to try to make the picture frame dry erase calendar I've seen floating around Pinterest.  Let me tell you for the longest time I thought that they just bought picture frames and glued them together, Silly me! Turns out it was a collage frame and GUESS WHAT?!? I had two of them that I received for Christmas!! So there they were just sitting in the closet....YA ME!! Now I don't have to go and try to find/buy one (= (I love when I find uses for things just laying around) So my goal is to try to get my kids organized this coming school year, for the most part they are. But that involves me telling them exactly what to do and reminding them of EVERYTHING!! And then when they forget to bring something to school or forget about something going on of course it's my fault that it was forgotten...Well NO MORE!!

Here is the one that sparked my interest and the link...

Well here we go, As I said I received this frame for Christmas but it's at Walmart for $12.97
It's out of stock online but I'm sure you can find it in the store but they also have a few other frames that would work well. With 5 to 9 openings that would be great!

I took off all of the backs and cleaned all of the glass inserts with Windex then I used days of the week stickers I picked up at Hobby Lobby (LOVE that store) for $3.99 and I put the stickers on the front of the glass. I didn't want to put them on the paper in case I wanted to change out the paper and not have to buy more stickers. I had to use a razor to cut the stickers since they were too long.

Next I put the glass back in and put a piece of scrapbook paper behind each one $.49 per sheet at Hobby Lobby. I only chose one busy pattern I thought plain paper would make it easier to read when it's written on. Then put the backs back on and WHALA!

All in all the whole thing cost under $20.00!! And don't forget it use the 40% off coupon at hobby lobby, I used it on the stickers which made them about $2.40 (not much off but it's something)
