Make a Mother’s Day Memo Board
by heather 
Let's face it: being a mom is one of the hardest jobs around! So many motherly duties are taken for granted and are under-appreciated. This year, let your mom know why she's appreciated with this gift that will keep her feeling loved all year 'round (especially if her love language
I made this memo board using materials I got in my secret stash swap with Alison from How Does She? She sent the vinyl slogan that says "Reasons We Love You!" and I thought it was a perfect jumping off point for a Mother's Day gift for my mom. The paper lace embellishments, the background paper, and the brown ribbon also came in her care package. If you don't have access to custom vinyl for this project, never fear! You can print or write the phrase on the paper underneath the glass, and it will work just as well! [update: see what I sent Alison and what she made with it]
You can find an 8x10 frame like this at the dollar store, or use one from your stash.
Project Estimate:
- Frame, $1
- Pretty paper, $.25 and up or on hand
- Embellishments, on hand
- Dry-erase marker, $1
- Craft glue, on hand
Total: $2 and up
To Make:
1. Cut out vinyl slogan using Cricut
2. Put pretty paper in frame. Tip: be sure the paper isn't too busy, because a strong pattern will interfere with readability on your dry-erase board.
3. Paint frame if desired, and apply embellishments to frame. I used lace and ric rack, but you can go wild and do just about anything for this step! Keep your mom's decor and taste in mind when you do this part!
4. When you give it to your mom, be sure to include a dry-erase marker and write a message on the board!
p.s. Sorry for the spoiler, Mom! xoxo

I love this idea! So cute…and seemingly simple too! :)
What a fun project! Love what you came up with.
This is such a cute idea. I think I have something that will work for this here at home.
Thanks for always inspiring.
I just found you via How Does She blog. Your little project from her stash came out great and I love the idea of a secret swap!! I am going back to find your follow button!

Very Cute! What a fun swap idea :)
So smart and simple, my favorite kind of project! I never thought of just using glass as a dry-erase board. The idea of adding art to a glass frame and it’s done – wow, that is soooo easy and cute. Making one TODAY!
I blogged my version of your awesome project today. Thanks again for the inspiration.
This is so clever! I loved the paper you used!
Thanks for sharing @ Anything Related!

[...] Remember when I swapped envelopes with Alison at How Does She?? She made this cute headband by covering a dollar store metal headband with part of a zipper, and then making these pretty fabric knots. I really need to make a slew of headbands! I think they add a bit of polish that an accessories-challenged mommy sorely needs (but that's just me!) Here are some other ideas for hair accessories: [...]
Love this idea. we have so many old frames that I have bought at garage sales. I am going to get busy and make some Christmas gifts for all my friends
