We've been busy, just like everyone else.  We've been so busy, in fact, that I haven't gotten to be creative in a very long time.  Now, we made a trip two weekends ago to put vinyl lettering on a church van but I was honestly quite nervous about that project.  This weekend's project was just for fun and relaxation!

I picked up a set of metal electric burner covers at the local thrift shop.  I then modge-podged some of my favorite scrapbooking paper to the inside of the cover.  I made a couple of pockets out of complimenting paper.  Add a few silver metal clips (glued on with Ailene's Tacky Glue) and a handful of bling gems and woooo-hooooo!
One of the pockets holds cards with dinner entrees written on them.  The other pocket holds blank cards for future use.  On the back of each entree card is a list of the needed ingredients for that dish.  As you plan your menu for the week, take the card for each night's dinner and clip it onto the board.  Just a glance at the board in the morning and you will have a clear reminder of your dinner plans for that evening.  The list of ingredients on the back should help any sous chefs in your kitchen be able to get things set up for you!

I'm thinking this is a great way to upcycle old cookie sheets too.  My daughter liked mine so much that she made her own version with rustic styled paper and used wooden clothes pins to hold her cards.  It is the perfect chore or appointment board!  We got the original idea from Pinterest but made a few changes so it would be more suited to our personal style and needs.
