OMG! I am really, really loving this! I LOVE to make lists! This will be so cute in my kitchen on our "family central counter"!
I love it!
I love this!! Thank you so much for another "doable" project!
Genius! I kept trying to figure out how you made the white board. It's the glass! I get it. We right notes on our windows and mirrors all the time. My husband even wrote one across my computer screen once. It was sweet, but I was mad! Great idea!
so easy and very clever. 🙂
I LOVE this idea! Thank you for the download! Please join us for our ANYTHING RELATED party on Tuesdays!

I tried to download the 'things to do' list and I was sent to a Scribd website, is that how everything is downloaded from your site? It wanted me to sign up for a subscription.
Not so computer savvy,

Hi – I am definitely happy to find this. cool job!
Hi! I love this idea!! I made a Photo 'Things to Do' frame based on your idea! Blogged about here.
This is a gorgeous idea, just finished making mine 🙂 amazing! Thank you!
I love this idea for a Things to Do list. 🙂 So cute!
Very cute! Just FYI–the Crayola Window Markers work even better than dry erase ones, because they're formulated to work on glass.
Good idea. Thanks for sharing.
Kistina, can you purchase the crayola window markers at Michael's or A.C. Moore? Are they fine point? I need a larger frame then what is shown in this project so I can write in space given. How do you remove the writing or if you need to change something? Windex?
