Hi my name is Abby and I’m a listoholic. I love making a list. On a post it, on the computer, in my phone, in my head, on the backs of old envelopes… and don’t get me started on Excel spreadsheets. It makes me feel like I’m sorting things out, even before I get started on actually doing anything on the list.
I’ve been wanting a whiteboard for ages, but they’re a bit ‘functional’ (meaning ugly) so when I came across this idea on Pinterest I had to do it right away.
I can’t bring myself to call this a tutorial because it’s just too easy. Glass works the same way as a whiteboard, so all you need to do is frame a piece of paper or fabric so that the frame isn’t too boring and that’s it. For the art, use something that isn’t too contrasty or it may be hard to read your writing.

I need to put something like that in my kitchen!
When I’m trying new recipes or halving/doubling a recipe I always scribble things down on paper which gets in the way. I’ve been wanting to put a whiteboard in my kitchen but they’re just not… pretty!
What a great idea 😀

I buy packs of xmas on special after xmas and use the envelopes to right list on cause i figure its better they get use then thrown away. then i cut up the cards and make new ones for the next year…and i use mirrors to write lists on….like those built in wardrobes with mirrors on them they are great to scribble over

Being afraid to toss paper/envelopes away UNTIL checking fronts and backs for possible written treasures … nuts!
This idea is fab – and seems doable.
Thank you!
