Home made Christmas

My mother-in-law has always enjoyed home made gifts for Christmas, both making and recieving them.  This year things were a bit tight so we decided to step it up a bit and do more home made gifts instead of buying.  Unfortunately, she decided this at Thanksgiving and as I work full time, it made a very stressful month for me!  I will post several projects over the next few days so check back.  :)

I was checking out Pintrest for the first time (I know, what took me so long?!) and came across this idea.  Someone had posted a picture frame that would hold 8 photos and they turned it into a weekly calendar.  Who knew that you could use dry erase markers on glass?!  So I was at Big Lots looking around for water bottles (will post that one later), and I found the same frame that was on Pintrest!  And it was only $10.  I picked up another frame for $3 and a two pack of dry erase markers for $2.  I ended up with 2 pretty nice gifts for $15 total!  I used baker's twine to tie the markers onto the frame.
