Dry Erase Menu Frame

Thank you so much for all of your sweet comments about our wedding pictures. I truly can't stop staring at them.... it is a great means for procrastination! 

But back to getting something done!! Today I decided I would make a dry erase menu board. I usually write out my menu for the week on the back of a recipe card and yes, I know that is wasteful. So I finally got around to changing! 

Plus, if I don't have all my meals written down & visible, I totally forget what I was going to make! 

I started with this Target frame that was on clearance, scrapbook paper, and a cut out of the word "MENU" from my silhouette. 

I made an extra, which is going in my next giveaway bundle. I'm thinking once I hit 400 followers? Not too far to go! 

 I cut out the scrapbook paper to fit the frame. 

 I matted the paper & put on the vinyl {yep, i've given in to using transfer paper. who knew it was so great?!}

I liked it, but I thought it needed the days of the week so I added the initials to each day. 

 And done! Pretty simple, huh? There are about a bazillion of these out there in blog-land. I'm glad to finally be a part of the cool club. 

 It found it's new home. I might hang it later, but for now I like it standing at the edge of the bar. The white doesn't pop too much in these pictures because I don't know how to use my camera... and there is an awful glare! But it really does pop in real life! One day I will learn and my pictures won't be so crummy. 

warning: obnoxious amount of pictures coming your way.

the long awaited professional wedding photos are finally here... and let me tell you, it was worth the wait. {at least we think so}
 our photographer gave us 550 photos on our proofs & it was so hard to narrow down!!
so i will apologize in advance for the annoying amount of pictures i am about to upload.

{they are in random order because organizing photos with google chrome is annoying. sorry.}
