tuesday tip - picture frame remix

so my new obsession is old picture frames filled with blank paper.  you can write on them with dry erase markers!  we made a weekly menu version two years ago in mops, i love it and use it every week.  and i have a ton of frames that i haven't hung because the pictures need to be updated and that would require planning and ordering prints...sigh.  someday.

so instead, i made a blank one to add to the dining room with the kids' monthly memory verses for church - the filler paper is a paint sample from when we built our house in the color of the living room.  i am not quite happy with the aesthetic of it sitting on the shelf there with the kids' portraits but we, surprisingly, don't have a lot of wall space in the kitchen/dining for hanging things - it is all cabinets and windows and i wanted it in a high traffic area.  the kids really like looking at their verses and saying them during meals and i like the visual reminder to review them without more paper stacked around.

now i am thinking about putting one in their bathrooms with a personal note or reminder for the day/week.  well, at least madelyn's bathroom.  the boys don't need anything else in there to break (they ripped the towel bar off the wall - not totally their fault and they were just trying to hang up their towels).  or i might do a larger one in their room for them to make their own notes/lists.

do you have anything laying around that you have repurposed and now want to do all over the house?  love.
