What's for Dinner?

My husband and I have been trying harder to meal plan. So far, it's saved us a lot of money knowing what we're going to eat before we go shopping.

Of course, the ripped paper on the fridge just didn't do it for me. So, I cam up with this (sorry, another paper craft):

Photobucket

We absolutely love it! It's so easy to write on with a dry erase marker and change them if I need to. No more crossed out dinners on my fridge list!

It was a cinch to make! I just took a piece of glass I had from an old frame, and mod podged (I love mod podge) letters and paper to the back. Then, I glued buttons on for the days. I wish I would have been borrowing the cricut still, because little written out week day names would have been cute. Oh well!

WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA! And even though I just made three of our cabinets in our kitchen chalkboard....I might have to steal this idea too! THANKS!

This is an awesome idea. Did you put the paper behind it so we could see itor is it part of the list? Another idea with that is use vinyl letters on your window, and then when you move, you just peel them off, and clean the window. I like the idea of it on an old window pane. Cute cute. I enjoy seeing all of your cute crafts on here. I love Modge Podge too. Takes me back to the days of school when you'd use paper and glue...
