I saw on pinterest a little while back about making your own menu board.  I thought I could so do that.  My friend Kristen did it.  Read her blog 
here.  I love Kristen's menu board and knew that I wanted to make one too.  While at IKEA yesterday I found this 
picture frame for $1.99.

I figured I could put a cute 8 1/2 by 11 scrapbook paper behind the glass and write on it.

First tho, I took off the stand part.  Don't need that.  

I still need to get that other piece off.  

First I added a piece of paper that I had with luggage.  I thought cool you can use this as packing list.  :)

Next I found a sheet with Santa and made a Christmas list.  How neat?  :)

Then finally I found a sheet with a beach sunset and wrote the menu.  I still need to get some magnets for the back (that I will glue on) and then I'm going to keep this menu board on the fridge.  For the paper I want to find something with a light background with a food theme.  I think that would be best for a menu.  :)  Gotta find the right paper tho but this beachy one will do for now.  I also think I want some more frames to make some more cute magnetic boards.  Maybe I can make some and sell on etsy?  :)  So far, I've spend $2 on this project and that was for the frame.  Love it!  :)
 
love it! i hadn't thought about changing out the paper for seasons or special occasions! cool :)
