What I have a Doctor's Appointment Tomorrow?!?!

If you are like me and my husband we have various appointment cards in various places. Some on the fridge, some on the counter, in your wallet, jean pocket.... etc.

On occasion we have been caught by surprise when we get home and hear a message on our answering machine that we have an appointment tomorrow.

So to help us be more organized I went to my local Hobby Lobby, gathered up some supplies and crafted a Message Board.

I bought a wooden frame, a canvas wrapped in burlap, jute twine, small metal clips, small red clothes pins, chalk board pins, hooks, tacks and a small red pail.
Assembling the Supplies
I screwed the burlap canvas to the front of the wood frame. Then added hooks to the bottom, strung the jute twine back and forth across the board, and added the clips.

Here is the finished product.

Now there is no excuse for being surprised by an appointment...lol
